thomasgoddard's review against another edition
4.0
A solid collection that follows a lot of the standard poetic themes: love, grief, change.
What is most present is its realness in the sense of its kinship to clarity and not shying away from allowing a little to go unsaid. Because that's perfectly reasonable for humans, that element of unspoken recognition. A familiarity that needs no translation.
To that end I was rather touched by quite a few poems.
Siren, Lapse and Fires were my top poems here and I read each many times.
Definitely a collection I'll return to.
Was a tiny bit disappointed at the length of the collection. Felt a little light.
