A collection of poems about what poetry can give us, what it can’t give us. How it leads us through fantasy and language and artifice, sometimes back to ourselves. Seuss’s reckoning of her lifelong fight with language, and a lifelong love of it.

Enjoyed the meta contemplations about what poetry is for, what it captures (and how), and how poets from the past inspire/provoke us in the present.
