Reviews

[A · Rating 3 out of 5]

The speaker is tired, old and reflective, attuned to beauty and its shortcomings.

I like these poems the most:
On Evening Tide (13)
Slaughter Street (18)
Neither Ornamental Nor True (27)
Fortune (33)
Kohaku (41)
The Meaning of Birds (83)

The only one I did not like was:
As In Japan This Morning (57)
