Goldbeater's Skin (The Colorado Prize) by G. C. Waldrep
This collection has some fantastic moments and lines, but it's also incredibly dense and sometimes all but inaccessible in meaning. I'd say it's more academic than enjoyable in a lot of ways, because as much as I don't mind sitting with and parsing through difficult poems, I need to have something more holding me to them--and, ideally, not an entire collection that requires such determined focus.
