Great cover. The idea of backward masking on vinyl. Stupid, scary Satan. Anyway, to this book of poems. The title poem has promise, if a little too obvious, but the MEME poems are AWFUL and ANNOYING. For example, "faith to faith" instead of "face to face" and so on. Lame. I did like "Cain Enabled" but I have always had a soft spot for the first murderer. "Not a Mosaic" about Canada is pretty ok, too, And "New Words for Neologism" sees Priest playing with words, as Poets and Priests are wont to do. The latter love poems seemed tacked on. Final reflection...not likely a book I'll read again, but I may grab a poem or two for school.
