Two stars is a bit harsh - but at this point in time I am not a huge fan!

I definitely will have to come back to this book later when I can dedicate more time to it, and have developed some more poetic background. As a largely un-poetically literate person I found his poetry (although nice sounding) very inaccessible (which apparently was kind of his point) and as a harried college student trying to juggle too many things, I didn't have extra time to research where he was coming from.

So yeah, better luck next time.
