I didn't really enjoy this book very much. That might say more about me than the poetry but I prefer longer poems with more descriptive language. I like poems that make me think, make me feel, poetry that is a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.
Saying that, the one poem that did grab me was Fantasy of a Walking Man based on Alberto Giacometti's L'Homme Qui Marche.
It evoked feelings of anguish, heartache and despair. That is the one poem that I will be going back to, that over time I will read again.
