There is a profound difference between writing a poem that keeps the reader guessing and writing one that has the reader lost, looks to me like a case where one case was confused for the other.
But from your review, I give it to him for wordplay, he's a master.

Great Review, btw.

Thanks for your comment. It was insightful. Yes, there are both strengths and weaknesses to the book. Again, thanks for reading and commenting. :)

I agree with your opinion of how some poems are very narrow in scope and can only attract a limited audience who can relate. I do think that people can still enjoy it and go in a journey exploring his point of view. Thank you for the review!
