The Watchman and Other Poems | 
panThese poems weren't in the style of poetry I enjoy. Even still, they weren't great. I would find myself caught up in the rhythm and realize I had no idea what the poem was saying. Too often the meter seemed to dictate the diction, so you end up with "comrade" when "friend" would be more appropriate. She must've used the word "elfin" 30 times in 157 pages. Also, "wold" was a favorite. But, the kicker was "clomb" from the POV of a captured lion.
