found this at a used book store, the title the garbage wars and a few lines and that it was some type of "experimental" blow you out of the water poetry (according to the back cover) got me buy it. As usual with poetry books it was nothing but how wind. had no idea what the poems were about if anything, which i think is deliberate, finkel then say the reader didn't have the intellect to understand them. annoying and distracting formats on a lot the poems and a cheap gimmick gap between words like this. this book like most books of poetry, sucks.
