It's a shame this thread isn't receiving more attention,Tom. Manashe's an interesting poet. I like his terse style and his refusal to develop a theme beyond one idea and metaphor.
Reading his poetry recently, I've not wanted to tackle more than one a day, but have wanted to savour each one. For the most part, I've liked them.
I do wonder, though, if he's fallen into the trap of being able to write in only one style. What happened to range?
