Poetry. Endearingly strange, unsentimental, and uniquely structured, in true Rilkean fashion THE BOOK OF HOURS questions the meaning and significance of everything from the flaws of human interaction to perfect posture. Unrelenting honesty and exacting description are coupled with the trials of a dying mother, saint shadows, birds, and "shit drying to chalk."
