I only liked 23 of them, which is a rather small percentage considering how many poems are in here. His style seems very scattered to me. Sometimes I think he‘s leading to an interesting twist at the end of a poem that brings the whole thing together but he doesn‘t. They often end randomly. A little too confusing for me overall. Hard to find things to connect with. But Dad bought me the set of poems, so there‘s sentimentality.

Great book swap gifts from @Laughterhp for the #llfs exchange. Love everything. The books sound very interesting. Can always use bookmarks as I usually have several books going at once.

Thank you.

Bookgoil Oh I love magnetic bookmarks and I have to check out those books now they look good! 3y
