Bodies in Motion and at Rest: On Metaphor and Mortality
A mixed bag, in my opinion, which is too bad because I'm a huge fan of Lynch's poetry and feel also that _The Undertaking_ was an amazing book. There's just a lot of talkiness here, and repeated themes and pseudo-hip references that remind me of elderly relatives--"Stop me if I've told you this before"--yes, yes you have. This book could have been pared down by half because so much of the good writing really soars, especially the meditations on alcoholism.
So sorry to not have liked this better.
