Reviews
This book contains two types of lines.
Lines which are brilliant.
Lines whose brilliancy have not yet penetrated my thick skull.
And a thinning within.
Thus I reserve a star
for the stars to come
as my eyes adjust
to the night clearing.

What I read of this in my "Genre of Poetry" class, really put me off. I have been advised to look again. Never finished it, just read several chapters.
