Ever since my friends have heard that I am attempting to expand my reading beyond non-fiction self-help, I have received no end of recommendations.  Poetry is not normally my thing, so this one caught my attention for that reason in particular.  In particular, I heard that this was more of a gothic-feel, prose-style poetry than the sort of thing I remember being assigned back in school.  I must say, I enjoyed it.  More than I expected, actually.  I had figured it would be a nice little distraction to stretch my reading muscles, and I ended up a bit more fascinated than I expected.  As I read through some of the poems as a break from other reading, I started to ponder how wonderful it might be to sit in a room and listen to it being read aloud by the author.  It reminds me that perhaps I might do well to stretch my writing muscles just a little in this direction as well as my reading.  I could not tell you the last time I wrote anything that could conceivably be described as poetry!  It was a nice read.
