it was a little hard for me to follow along with the poetry sometimes but that’s just my own issue. i did really enjoy this book tho and learned a lot about vietnam from it.

Words to say to family who will never see them

Lyrical debut, memoir-like in dealing with generational traumas.

I read this on the kindle app, so unfortunately I was inconsistent in steady reading so next time, I'll try to not have month long gaps between sessions.
