It took me a long time to warm to this book because it is difficult to read.

I went back and reread a lot and I allowed myself to nibble at it slowly like 90% cocoa, no sugar chocolate. I suspect I will read some of these poems again.

You do hae to read back and forth because the beginning only really makes sense in the context of the end but also that's the order it had to be in. Poetry can be a bitch that way.
