However, one of the poems, in particular, stuck in my head–specifically, the one about gardens being destroyed. I'm not going to lie, it has actually been a while since I read this book. In terms of the content within the book, I felt like the poet really touched my heart. Sometimes, I even had to reread each line. Not only did I have to reread each poem multiple times, but I also had to reread each stanza multiple times to understand the meaning. My head was spinning by the end of each poem. Each word, each placement, each stanza break had its own meaning. It's a poem book after all, how hard can it be? Turns out, every single poem in the book can be dissected and deciphered into complex messages. When I first picked up this poem book, I thought it would be a quick walk in the park. A forty-three paged book can’t possibly take me half a month to read, can it? The answer is actually, yes.
