Late yesterday, he followed up, saying he had posted a review to Amazon and Goodreads that reads, in part:
I didn't intend to read this one so quickly. I just got it yesterday. But I read the first few while taking a break from TV and found them addictive. Most are short and pithy. But there's clearly a sound talent behind the words and a lot of feeling in them. I'm 52 now and these poems probably apply most strongly to younger individuals, in their teens and 20s perhaps, but I could easily put myself back in those days and recall when I felt just like this. Good stuff.

Nice review, Charles. I had a similar reaction. I expected to read slowly when I had some spare time and then I became hooked and zipped through.
Definitely a good collection.
