Reign of Snakes Book

First Impression: the diction strives for lyricism, but comes off as pretentious, and there is overall lack of poetic economy. In many poems the word choice seem like an onslaught of pretense, its as if the poems were a recipe that called for salt, and every poem is saturated with too much salt as opposed to an amount of salt that would be much more appropriate to the tastes and appreciation of the readers and to the standards of the recipe. Embedded within the poems there are great ideas worthy of examination, so there is definitely careful thought within them, just the word choice seems too overzealous.
