The book was very daunting at first, I find with most books and poems with the beat style its hard at first till you get the rhythm of the book. And this book, all I can say is wow.
This book really captured the feel of the beat generation, you could really get a sense of Toms turmoil, you can feel hes highs and lows within each word. This book is so powerful and it really meant a lot to me. Even though you could see the influence of Kerouac and Hemingway, Tom really has made this hes own.
My favourite poem was Nature's Narcissism, It just really overcame me. I felt every word. It was like magic words being said to me on the page. But Love Revealed and Climb are also very good ones to look out for.
Overall.....This book.....This book could change a life. Yes it was hard to start with but once that rhythm sets in, and it doesn't take long to find it, I really enjoyed it. It really gets you thinking and the words have so much dept.
The book is more then a book its a treasure, and this book is for you.
