drewsof's review against another edition
3.0
I'll tell you this: the good poems are so fucking good that they forgive the bad ones. It might just be nice if Robbins gave himself a chance to breathe and cull out the latter. But also, maybe the others wouldn't seem so special if they weren't surrounded by lesser friends. I feel like that's a concept Robbins would appreciate - or at least jot into a stanza, one left fluttering down behind as he races on forward at the speed of culture.

Contemporary poetry. Some poems better than others, as in any collection.
Some imagery makes me uncomfortable, but I understand that that's probably the point.
