The look and design of this book is great. I love that the poem has become an art form in looks and in words. I loved this book for a long time, wooed by its good lucks.
Re-reading it now, I am less impressed. In so many words, the book is about God being a woman and about a man being intimate with God. I bet it makes a lot of Christians angry, which is no skin off my neck. I just find it to be so particularly man-centric despite all the talk about SHE. One reveiwer calls it feminsit babble. I cannot imagine anything further from it. As there always has been and seemingly always will be, woman is something to be ejaculated on and in even as a deity. The penis is a gun, a weapon, a spreader of destruction.
Only a man would think of so many ways to fuck, fill up, and wallow around in God if there were one. At once God is a woman and then later he is fucking God's wife. I get it. You have a powerful penis, an obsessive personality, a tendency to dream and ramble, and you feel important and disappointing all at once. Women are better than you and pissing on them is the only way you feel like you can get close to their holiness.
All in all, I still think it is a good poem, and the books design is great. His subject matter is not my cup of tea, but it may be yours.
