Disappointing. Small ideas tidily executed. Enough for a pamphlet. Often dips for a few poems then recovers only to sink again - e.g. "The Hold" and "The Rain" are ok, then there's the fluffy "Almost Summer" the overlong "The Funeral" and then yet another "old-lady-making-jam" poem. I liked "On Seeing" most.
I disagree, this poem is my life.
