This was a solid collection with a few truly stunning pieces. It‘s clear that Elis‘ strength lies in a deep understanding of the connection between music and language. This is his first book of poetry, so there were elements of style and subject that seemed unfocused. I‘d definitely be interested in reading one of his later works to see how his writing progressed. #Roll100 #JoyousJanuary @PuddleJumper @Andrew65
