Intriguing world, interesting characters, a quick tale with lots of commentary on class and religion that somehow got squeezed in quite well for such a short book. There were a couple lines that I audibly reacted to ( in a good way) and I loved the ending.
my one thing was having one question left unanswered ....and i also wished for a little more gunslinging. Wish there were more stories in this world!

While I can clearly see the talent and the efforts to push back against the establishment of the day.....
This is not really my cup of tea.
Did I like any poem in here? yes, just one. Did I still find lines throughout that I underlined because of their relevance or how much I was like oh shiiiit? yep.
But overall I think that a) beat poetry might not be my thing
and b) it felt like the whole time the poet was scribbling away in a railcar, thinking, yes yesssss this will be edgy......this will show them how smart I am.
forgive me, if thats not the case but thats largely how this felt. Which is a shame because I can tell he cared about what he was trying to get across....he was ...raging against the machine in a way.
But it got a little too like our modern edgelord writing in there for a bit.
