I'm sure that if I were to re-read this book of poems in different settings, or in different moods, I would feel differently about each poem in every reading. That's what makes me appreciate this little book. Human Perfection & Diamonds and Toads were my favorites this time around. Which will speak loudest next time is anyone's guess--but there will be a next time.

As with all anthologies there are stories within this book that I loved, stories which I didn't really care for and some in between.
I gave this book 3*



Just finished this book. There were a couple of poems that I liked more than the others, but none of them really stood out to me. The ones I liked a little bit (with rough translations) were: Lispelvrees (Lisp fear), Uit een veelbekroond leven (Out of an award-winning life), Hoofd vol maakbaarheid (Head full of manufacturability) & Geslachtelijke bepaling (Gender/Sex determination).
