A very interesting collection. I'm not really that qualified to give a review of a poetry collection, at least when it comes to discussing all the technical aspects that make the poems great and all the imagery and stuff. All I know is what I like, and I do like a lot. Of these poems, my favourites are the ones where Damian tells a definite story, like "Autobiography" or "Better Living Through Industry". I also liked "Biography". The appearance of a red bird throughout the book was also a clever touch. I'm very glad Greg [Keelor, of Blue Rodeo] recommended this book -- it's interesting and just challenging enough for me to want to explore it in greater depth. ( )
