I honestly don't know what to say other than this made me fall in love with poetry again.

"I want poems to read me. And I want these poems to read you, to say what you might have said or thought, to be of some use."
emotional reflective slow-paced

What I fear is not the passing
Of time but how still I find myself
At this point in my life, as if
I know there is nothing I can do.


I wasn't the right reader for this collection. I liked the concept, and I even enjoyed most of the content, but I couldn't fully connect with the poetry. There were definitely times where Davidson's commentary illuminated and enhanced the poems, but it was difficult for me to transition from his breezy and funny tone right into reading poetry.
