Drew me in slowly

4 stars

This was my first time reading any of Berry's work and initially I found the sheer 'American-ness' of his poems placed me at a slight distance from them somehow? As I progressed through the book though, I started to feel an underlying theme of place and timelessness that drew me in. One thing that I found charming was that throughout the book there were poems dedicated to friends and friendship; such tokens of appreciation for male friendships are so rare.
