Dante on loss:

"I came to such a point that I no longer knew where I was. I seemed to see ladies amazingly as, weeping as they made their way down the street, their hair dishevelled; I seemed to see the sun darken in a way that gave the stars a colour that would have made me swear that they were weeping; it seemed to me that the birds flying through the air fell to earth dead, and that there were great earthquakes."

You've heard of songs that sound like "Jesus is my girlfriend"?... Well these poems are more like "my girlfriend interest is my Jesus".
Weird.

So far this one reads like reading a teenager's awkward journal describing the inner interpretations of interactions with their 'crush'... The poetry is solid and enjoyable...but because Dante describes in detail the rationale behind writing each poem it gets weird. Sometimes it gets hilarious.
