jhuynh848's review against another edition
I did not understand more than 90% of the poetry therefore I will not rate this book.

4.0
In short, beautiful and heavy. I'd have to say a lot of these were difficult for me to parse and understand but still I enjoyed the descriptive language which had so much depth. I'd say 4 stars for normal times but 3 stars for COVID times because these poems took my heart, made it heavy but didn't release it back out to the world more open than before. The poems bundled me up and I had to find my own way out. They were good, illiciting emotions that, much like the subject matter of the poems, remain unresolved. I'll be thinking on these poems for a while.

this a many-limbed, agile, perceptive collection that is finely attuned to the music and pulse of its language. a delightful and challenging read. "language works over information..." is one i'll be thinking about for a long, long time.
