Citizen: An American Lyric

I think this is probably excellent and I enjoyed most of it but my caveat needs to be I am inept at appreciating poetry. I nearly always would rather spend time with a novel. I can only point feebly at bits I liked without having the language to say why. Predictably, my finger hovers over sections that are more like prose than poetry ( that bit on Serena was a highlight).
Thus, I must nod in deference to other reviewers for explaining what makes this one such an acclaimed poetry collection, for my own part I thought, yeah, this has given me some "gut-punch" moments and thats all I can ask of my poetry.
