I'm going to go into this by saying I am not at all a poetry person. I rarely enjoy it, and unfortunately this was one of those times. I had to read the back to see what reviews were saying to get a grasp of what the theme was, and even then only a few verses actually stood out as making any sense. Everything else felt like pretty words that didn't actually mean anything. If I was someone who like and regularly read poetry, perhaps I would have enjoyed it more and gotten more out of it, but I wanted to give it a try and we just didn't gel.
