Don't know if it's the translation but there's no sense of rhyme, meter, etc. but at least reading it in my head, there is a cadence and flow to the free verse. There's a quiet elegance that at least feels like a novel with some sense of pacing

I am not someone who really "gets" poetry so translated poetry can be even more impenetrable. Some of these poems didn't work for me at all and I could tell I wasn't picking up on the metaphor or the true meaning

After the disorientingly tortured language of the intro, the poems are strangely more legible with only a few pretentious word choices that seem questionable... mostly they give a feeling, with a few lovely phrases or evocative ideas without being straightforward or fully comprehensible but you do get an impression/mood from each one
