This short poetry collection is divided into 4 parts. The poems cover a variety of subjects: love, homelessness, Greek figures. The poet uses many devices to create art with words. He uses many interesting phrases like “vertigo of doubt”. In the selection, Pantoum the poet explores the idea of sight through repetitions. Pantoum is also a poetic structure that repeats lines from the previous stanza in a poem. The poet expertly uses this structure.
