Enjoyable poetry with a definitive sense of place and person. And that cover is just adorable.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I don't think I could ever judge poetry. There isn't really a way to define what is and isn't poetry, just like art. I thought this collection was beautiful and all of the poems flowed really well together. It might not be for everyone but It was defiantly for me.
My favorites are
pg 50. On The Sudden Death of a Beloved Acquaintance
pg 12. Infidelity
pg 22. Yet
pg 27. Jury Duty
pg 3. Visiting Alumnus

I won a copy of this book in exchange for a review on LibraryThing.
I'm seldom a poetry reader though I enjoy trying new things. The following titles are poems that I found interesting: Concurrences, Yet, Variations on a Holocaust, Shrinking with Doubt, and Comedy for the New Millennium.
Some of the word choices in some of the poems seemed a little odd to me, but that's just my personal opinion. Besides that, it was an interesting read.
