This collection was so good. Her work is really lush and evocative but it doesn't feel forced or pretentious. I assumed early on that the ocean/nature theme might become redundant, but instead she incorporates it thoughtfully. I dogeared so many poems that it didn't take long for me to realize there was no point in doing so...I'd be flagging nearly every page. I'm ocean-floored. My feelings for this book run deep.

“Give me a church
made entirely of salt.
Let the walls hiss
and smoke when
I return to shore.”
—from poem “Sea Church”
