Some of my favorite lines are as follows:
“When someone dies, letters are always engraved. When someone dies, there is a constant feeling of wanting to speak to someone, but the plane with all the words is crossing the sky.”
“Because dying lasts forever until it stops.”
“That day dusk didn't arrive. I went into it.”

spinesinaline's review against another edition
3.5
It’s a very heavy collection and feels a bit like drowning as Chang uses these poems to make sense of her emotions and put her grief to words. Some of the poems really resonated and I enjoyed the unique obituary style, but there were some sections that had more of an abstract format and they’ll likely take me a few more read-throughs to really grasp.
Thanks to Cori @ Bookish Cori on IG for her review that brought this one to my attention!
