Verses of the Sun, Rain & all the Moons in Between

(4.5, rounded down to 4)
This was written by a friend of mine over a period of two years. I'll try not to be biased here.
The only poetry I've ever read is Roald Dahl and Lewis Carroll, so suffice to say that I don't “get” poetry. Like most other people, I find ‘serious' poetry that is not epic length (for example, Homer's Odyssey) nauseous.
I'm reluctantly impressed by the fact that the poetry didn't feel heavy-handed, even though it got a bit pretentious for my liking at times. Keeping in mind this is my friend's first book, I'm willing to give the poet the benefit of doubt in this case.
The diagrams add value to the sparse and minimal aesthetic that the work aims for, which is another thing I quite liked. This is one of ‘those' books that one can just reach for when they're feeling bored, and whittle away five or ten minutes at.
