Moolten's poems are sometimes elegant, sometimes striking. While the personal ones in the collection (many of them coming towards the end, by the way) are the most powerful in my eyes, along with some of the ones in the beginning which come across as sort of contemporary takes on legends or fables, the collection as a whole has a great deal to offer. With language that blends lyricism with a sort of prose sensibility, the poems come together into an eclectic mix of images and meanings which should offer enjoyment to any poetry reader. And although I won't likely revisit the collection in whole, there are some poems here that I'll want to return to again and again.
