Personally, I found that many of the poems read more like prose and the rhythm and wording of sentences felt off. I did find that some of the poems were beautifully written with an almost lyrical quality to them and/or connected with me emotionally or on a personal level. I loved that she took the reader on a trip with her across Canada.
