So many of these poems feel like clouds in my hands. No line ended how I expected it to. The imagery was so abstract but, somehow, on a second read, revealed something more concrete. I had to stop and think and feel each word - it felt like a spiritual experience. For some of them. For others, I struggled to be interested, and I  couldn't derive even a personal meaning from them. Overall, though, I liked the book.
