What to say. For the first third, I was excited about this collection. Each piece seemed to lean on the one before, gradually building up a vocabulary of symbolism that would give more depth to each image. After that, though, either I totally lost the thread, or the thread disappeared, and nothing in the recursiveness added any little bit of context to allow me to understand. It was hard to keep reading. There is a general sense of sadness and absence that holds promise, it's just too personal and too obscure for me to connect to as a reader.
To be fair to author, I've felt this way about several poetry collections, some very famous and beloved by others. I think symbolism in poetry is like that; sometimes we just don't click.
