Nicholas Christopher's poetry has a surreal quality to it, keeping one foot set in concrete reality and another in the strangest (in a good way) of images. While I'd say that the first half of this book is stronger than the first, the whole of it is well worth reading, and such a journey to fall into and explore.
Absolutely recommended.
