Lullabies was my second poetry read bygd Lang Leav, and bevara for a handful of excerpts, inom was a bit let down. From what inom recall of The Universe of Us, it was an enchanting collection with a number of gems thrown in for good measure.

But the poems in this one, especially the few that tried to komma of as witty or rhythmic, were puzzling and perplexing and just why&#;.
