I haven't really read poetry before this, so this was an unusual read for me. That being said, I really enjoyed the use of language and symbolism Smith uses in this book to talk about certain pieces of his life. He does a tremendous job of imparting emotion, especially in the section of poems in tribute to Irene McKinney. This section of poetry left quite an impact on me; poetry about death has been done numerous times, but, as with all the poetry in this book, Smith's language is unique and effecting. I think I'm a fan of poetry now. :)
