The form of this poetry fantastic, especially for the sake that Bervin left the original text blurred in the background instead of blacking it out, giving context to the original Shakespeare. That said, the poetry itself was not engaging.

Compellingly quick read that I want to revisit more and more. I think there is something further in here that the poems' porousness offers, but I can't quite see it now.

I thought this was really beautiful; definitely evokes—or rather is—a palimpsest, which I think remains one of the best conceptual frameworks to think of texts.
