happy_stomach's review against another edition
3.0
Place and nostalgia and generations and the cosmos are themes that recur through this collection. The themes are big, but the poems here also feel very finely situated, in northeastern North Carolina, encounters with the Atlantic, and in the kitchens and backyards of the color photos included in the book. Cardinal usually manifests as the bird in Daye’s poems; I also couldn’t help thinking of cardinal directions, or guideposts for understanding the world.
