Those sections felt like a departure from the beautiful explorations/examinations that take place in the other poems. The Roboboy poems were my favorite - "No One Will See Themselves in You" is probably my favorite poem in the whole collection. <br/> <br/>I have only read through the book once. I want to spend some more time with the "terror" sections. They are appealing on some level - but they are what keeps this book from five stars for me. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/653447?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
