i wanted to love it, or at least anticipated a promising exciting stab in the dark for bolly but christ, it is terrible cod-gothic, cod-mystical garbage, offensively bad in fact. the lyrics to blank page have more worth than the entire collection.

Some of the poems are fun to read at least. A Twixt the Twine, ha ha, rolls off the brain. Overall this is only the type of stuff thats supposed to get released post mortem.

some of the poems i like. but either way, when i first read it all i saw was "yelena yelena yelena"

the archaic meaning of cod is scrotum.

If the dream is gone
Good! Then let it die
I'd rather tumble from my window
To ground wet and hard with rain
Knowing you were waiting for me.

I don't understand how anyone can dislike the book, its just like reading SP lyrics. Well, almost. The feel is different, but its still the same old Billy style writing.

I don't feel guilty. Billy the musician is what I love, not Billy the poet.

His instrumentals have better lyrics than any poem in BWF.

I think that's the point. No lyrics > Poems.

I read "years of grace" several times and it was as if with each reading the unfolding of the message in the poem became clearer and more profound.

it's a difficult poem to read and decipher...but, i sense a broad scope of perception within the poem. truly fascinating.
