I have loved Ras's "You Can't Have It All" for years. And I still do, but I see now why someone dismissed it as overly sentimental. And I'm not as struck by the other poems in this collection as I would have thought I'd be — the imagery isn't dramatic or unusual, the vocabulary doesn't do startling things. I'm a little disappointed.
