This book is a fantastic choice for those who like riddles as well as for those who enjoy modern poetry. In combining the two genres, one accentuates the particular pleasures of both- critical anaylsis, the revealing of hidden meanings, layers of meaning, and commentary on the mysteries of society hidden in ordinary objects.
