I believe one of my biggest challenges with poetry is how much your understanding of them varies based on the context and understanding coming in. This collection left me with a lot of visceral feelings but I believe someone with a deeper knowledge of the bible would probably get more of the references. Sometimes wish poems came with a little paragraph next to them like you get at an art gallery - but I have a difficult relationship with that idea as well so maybe I should just let things effect me how they will?
