“choose to be glad
to change, not to wait and see. 
i’m changed by you already.
i want to be around 
more keenly than before,
to live because you’re living.”

I picked this up completely randomly to fill a reading challenge prompt that I had nothing else lined up for and ended up really enjoying it. It was published this year and has a lot of COVID/quarantine themes which I appreciated more than I thought I would going into it. The poems are mostly serious but still easier to swallow than a lot of other contemporary poetry I've read. I gave it three stars for overall enjoyability but nothing really striking or resonating. I liked it, but I don't believe it will stick with me.
