I admit I wanted more from this collection. Although the poems were interesting, they felt more like short thoughts in broken-up prose than poems where I could sink into the language as well as the meaning. There were some lovely images, but none of the poems had the power to pull me in and demand re-reading. They were instead brief, thoughtful, and careful... and perhaps too crafted. Interesting as they were, they just fell somewhat flat for me.
