There are poems in this book I feel like I know by heart even though I've read them only once.

While I find some of the poems to be repetitive, I really enjoyed this collection. Especially the poems written in prose style and the poems about grief. Saeed Jones has a lovely writing style that’s both beauty and accessible while still complex.
