It should go without saying that these poems are amazing, but I will say it anyway. This U.S. Poet Laureate is most certainly deserving of the title, and you deserve a little break from life to read this book. Read it on a Sunday morning while the sun is shining, during a time where you didn't realize that you needed a break from life.
I also want to note that the construction of the book was stellar. The cadence and length of the poems as you progressed through the book felt like the pacing of a story. It was kind of magical, honestly.
This was a spectacular book of poetry, but it was still difficult to decide between rounding up and rounding down. In a way, a lot of the poems felt familiar, but each of them still had a poignant enough moment to make them unique and beautiful. I thought for most of the book that this would be a 4 star book because of the sense of familiarity I felt, but I realized by the end that this was an asset to the book. This book manages to be unique and moving and inspiring and homey all at once, and that is pretty amazing.
Give it a read, but don't let my 5 star review set any expectations for it. Just experience the book and decide for yourself at the end whether I was right.

I really enjoyed this poetry collection. I appreciated how the poet wove together anxiety and hope, nature, family, and many other themes into the different poems. I'll have to let these settle with me.
