jujudepamplemousse's review against another edition
3.0
(3.5) I cannot describe the style of this poetry collection better than the editor « Magnús Sigurdsson spare poems pay rare attention to the minute revelations of nature rather than allowing the crudeness of machinery to bulldoze our sentiments. ». I’m most definitely in love with the intention behind the writing style, the emphasis on the essential through the parsimonious use of words. There were some masterful executions of this intention, especially Parent, Living Tree, Rain, In the Apricot Orchard, Blackbirds, Black Sea or Ice. However, I regret the uneven quality of the collection, because while I adored some of the poems, others felt rather flat.
