To be honest, I usually don't gravitate to poetry, but this title grabbed me. I have been a Kate Bush fan for a while! Kate Bush is eternal. To be even more honest, my brain doesn't understand most Kate Bush lyrics in the same way my brain doesn't understand most poetry. But this was a fun escape - I'm not sure how Fresh and New this collection is compared to most poetry... this is the only modern poetry I have read in quite a while. But the collection is enjoyable! I would set this on the shelf next to Lara Erhlich's 'Animal Wife'. Yeah, one is poetry and one is short stories, but both books share the same spirit. ( )
