Review of 'Season in Hell Other Poems' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Sometimes I'll have a week when I just can't find a lighted path through life; stuck choosing between activities that just don't make it worse and activities that almost definitely will.

Choose to keep running, keep your health up.
Choose to eat well and try to get your 7 hours.
Choose to avoid sarcasm when possible.

Choose not to nap in the afternoon.
Choose not to wallow in beer or the like.
Choose not to read A Season in Hell & Other Poems (or anything else that makes you think too much about where you've been, where you're going, and the nature of reality.)

That last one's a biggie.

Eventually, all the lights come back on of their own accord and the time of dark stumbles will end.
