Real rating: 3.5
Not the worst poetry I've read but definitely not the best. Almost every poem oozes with the privilege of a white, middle class New England life. No poems are about anything of great importance in my eyes, but that is partially why I still enjoyed it. His poems don't discuss love or the meaning of life or the perfection of nature; it is strictly about every day moments, with nothing extraordinary whatsoever. I did enjoy reading about Boston from an outside perspective. There are definitely better poems to invest in, but if this is available to you it won't hurt to read it.
