Unique poetry, truely a "coney island" for reading with a shot of good brandy and a fire in the grate.

Quick and robust sampling of poetry, sought out after Wright Thompson cited this collection as particularly influential on his writing style for its alliteration & assonance. Lyrically impressive, and deserving of multiple reads to pinpoint the symbolism and imagery of its era.
