I loved reading On Kindness which is in this collection which got me to check this out. A strong collection with quite a bit of variety. On first read nothing else had the same impact as the poem that led do me reading the collection but there was much i really liked and might like more when i revisit it

This startling elegiac collection digs into how life is honored, spent, and celebrates it all. Often while reading, I found myself pushed and pulled, coerced into thinking in intriguing ways about not only the content, but the play with form at times. Some of the sentiment, and certain lines are still repeating in my mind, hours later, and probably will continue to do so.

"The weather of the house, / it shapes the body's light. This is what / a girl has in common with the lightning."
