Does Wood review poetry? If not, that may explain why he was flummoxed by The Road.
I think in review of poetry, you are much more likely to deal with the thing that is directly before you.
You don't spend time second-guessing particular words, or poem endings. You look at what it is. You don't imagine the poems that are not there. You consider the poem that is there.
You want a different poem? Go write your own.
