Found it to be quite dull and mundane. The author pushed the themes which took away from the purely flat poems. I plan to read it again, however I just did not feel as if I got anything out of it. Compared to the likes of Hart Crane, Allen Ginsberg, T.S. Eliot, et cetera this short book of poetry just did not fulfill my desire for "good" poetry. Saying that, I know poetry is an art and thus a review of it can be subjective. So, I should not critique it as I have done, but so be it. I will end with a quote from Oscar Wilde -- "All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling."
