oh how i’m a sucker for a story about family, the haunting of family, grief, and sisters. nelson paints a beautiful portrait of these experiences in this collection. particularly successful is how she can’t help but draw jane’s personality into herself. after my grandpa died, i found all i could do is think of the ways we were the same, how our habits compounded into each other. maybe that’s the easiest way to deal with loss, to fill it with ourselves.
reasoning for four stars: some of the poems and sections felt significantly weaker than others. nelson’s real strength is with her prose poems, in my opinion. my favorites were “lies” “sisters” and “ghosts.”
