Holmes' collection of poetry and prose is filled with beautiful longing, incredible vocabulary, and amazing topics. She discusses family, childhood, love, bodies, travel, and more. Her writing is aesthetically pleasing both in design and in word, and each poem asks for something different in response. This is best read, in my opinion, with a cup of tea and near a window to gaze out of. If you're a fan of poetry, don't miss out on this collection!

The poetry in this book was very beautiful and I connected with it, as I write poetry very similarly to this poet's work. The content of the poems was important, but I also was feeling a lot of inspiration while reading her poems. While I write poems, I have some difficulty reviewing them. I connected with her writing style, and I enjoyed what she wrote.
