I wanted to like this more than I did. I enjoyed a handful of poems, but for the most part, the poetry in this volume just didn‘t resonate with me. A lot of his imagery and/or subject matter just wasn‘t to my taste. Disappointing! I picked this up because I saw Kinnell recommended by one of my favorite poets (Naomi Shihab Nye), and because I like the quote that the title is taken from. Maybe I‘ll give him another shot with a different collection!
