My favorite. Some of the most profound and rich poetry I've ever read.

I expected lots of amazing, hope-filles poems, but instead found the author to be a man clinging to life and love instead of his faith. He seems to have lost that over the years. I should have done more research about the author before reading the collection. But it was interesting to see the soul of a man unfold in front of you through his poems. Interesting read.

DNF on page 67.
If it was the length of most poetry collections I read, I probably would have finished it and rated it 3 stars.
But this collection is 526 pages long!
I don't have the energy to invest that much time in something I'm feeling average about.

I really wish I had more patience for poetry than I do. But I don't. There are some really wonderful verses here but most of the poems in this book simply didn't work for me. This gap in my readerly interests annoys and distresses me, but it's possible that I am just not a poetry person.
