[renzo · Rating 2 out of 5]

i gotta say this is a solid collection but its unlike his others, which in my opinion are better. lots of difficult to translate meta poems about poems as usual. also lots of references to a lot of poets, writers, and composers as if the author is trying to tell us that he's cool for knowing them and its getting a little bit on my nerves..! i loved the triptych poem and the ouroboros concept but everything else felt too pretentious... this is a 2.5 for me unfortunately
