I am in the middle on this collection and being unfamiliar with his other work I can't compare it to what he has previously done. I found that while he touches on topics most of us have experienced, from love to grief, I wasn't moved by how he expressed his ideas. It isn't that it was bad poetry, some of it is good, but it just didn't stand out for me. Usually I can find a poem or two that really got to me. Not this time. A few made me think about moments in my past, which is a good thing for poetry to do, but it didn't offer me new insight or appreciation, just a reminder.
I didn't bother looking up anything he may have online, I just didn't care enough, but he apparently has a big social media presence, so I would suggest looking him up and seeing if anything connects with you. If so, then this may well be a good collection for you. Also, if you simply like to find poets you don't yet know, this is not a bad collection and may well speak more to you than it did to me.
