I have tremendous respect for Clint Smith as a person & I wish I could get coffee with him. This collection is brilliant. Poems vary in form, length, and subject matter but they are all great.

Favorites:
-“Passed down”
-“Lifeline”
-“An evening at the Louvre”
-“Each morning is a ritual made just for us”

Clint Smith's poems hit that sweet spot between overly simplistic and unnecessarily complicated. I highly recommend!
