Little Door Slides Back Book

This book feels like the book of the unhealthy relationship, or the toxic speaker, even though there are times when it just feels like the speaker is misunderstood. I like the book for the unusual motives it elaborates on. I like the book because it feels to me all these poems eventually lead to an impression of "Jeff Clark," the guy who's written the book. And I believe I'm being led to "Jeff Clark" because of the central poem "Some Information About Twenty-Three Years of Existence," where the wasted imagery that was featured in previous poems reappears there. And I guess I like this book for the way it reminds me of a couple other poets I like: Mark Levine and Brenda Shaughnessy.
