Wanted to love it, but just wasn’t what I needed from it. I feel like this is more of a 3.75 stars out of 5, but the stronger, strongest poems within this could boost it up to a 4.25 stars out of 5.

Would not have considered horror to be a framework for poetry before, but, yes, of course (can think of others now too), esp. with his subject matter. Fascinating and exciting and always a pleasure in how he uses language and imagery.

I think this is my favorite poetry collection I've ever read. I'm already reading it again. Absolutely amazing.
