woolgatherer's review against another edition

reflective medium-paced

3.0

I’m not sure how to feel about this one. There were some thought-provoking poems and I can definitely see Charara’s wit coming into play, but the collection felt a bit choppy and scattered. What kind of kept things together was the “Self-Portrait” series, though even some of those poems didn’t quite strike me the same way others did. I think my favorite from the series (and perhaps this entire collection) was “Self-Portrait in Retrospect.”
