The first poems in this collection I didn't like. But then I started to really enjoy this small collection of ten poems about after the 4th one. The style locked into my brain a bit and then I found it the rest of it to be very good in my opinion. This is a free ebook that can be found online from bear parade and can be read in minutes.
