To echo a review: "Its rigors are complex and yet a reader feels nothing so much as invited in, and the rewards are plentiful and profound." There is a pleasure in reading the voice of these poems ("invited in"), and challenge in the form and in the intellect (which also provides its own pleasure). And all of it deep, deep, deep, and worth plunging back in to.

I will not this rate this book because I don't know how. I found the formatting of the text to be intriguing. I particularly enjoyed the framing of the colony vs. individual vs. swarm to be compelling. However I found myself feeling more and more lost as I continued through the collection. I wish that the poems had a stronger lyrical impact. I couldn't keep my focus the deeper I went into the collection.

The too / muchness of a stirring. How often one is told the injury is not enough. The loud pink of a judgmental / thumb. How to say: I just want some peace, is all.
