I’m still new to poetry and have mostly only read poets from the 21st century. A 24 page poem about a sofa, or on the theme of a sofa, was not what I was expecting. The religious tie-in to everything speaks to the time frame. I didn’t really enjoy reading it but I could imagine those at the time finding it of value.

This book might be a good book but it wasn’t right for me. I found it dated and hard to want to read it made me mostly want to sleep and go cross eyed.
The poems I really enjoyed and appreciated were the abolitionist and religious ones. The others were sort of bland and bled together for me.
