A mixed bag. I really like some of the poems in here but found others to be real clangers.

I had the good fortune to hear Eckermann speak several years ago and her stories and mere presence made an impact on me. The imagery in this collection is similarly powerful, though I must lament the fact that a lot of the subtleties and many references are lost on me because of my ignorance of her culture. That being said, I shall continue to be inspired by her work a the images swirl around my head and claw at my heart. I look forward to getting my hands on more of her work down the road. Powerful stuff.
