The last book of poetry I read, I never managed to finish. To quote whomever actually said it, "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."

One of the items I most appreciate about poetry is the density, the ability to convey many images with a lot of different referents. In the case of this collection of poems, a walk through the oceans of the poet's soul would not have gotten my ankles wet, the only image that was conveyed was a desire to worship the porcelain goddess.

The consolation was that it was a library loan though I still think I paid more than it was worth.
