"and the world will go on lightly turning
with its millions of small adjustments
that make space for us
that let us get through"

Despite having read two of her books, I haven't quite jumped on the Heather Christie bandwagon. As others have said, there are some brilliant lines and inspiring questions and ideas in many of these poems, but as whole pieces, they mostly feel incomplete, to me, tip-of-the-iceberg thoughts that don't follow through. I'd read a few lines that were really thought-provoking, but then the poem jumped to something else and I was left wanting a bit more from the first idea. Would love to have seen some of these expanded, which may have led to a better understanding of some of the images that seemed otherwise randomly thrown in.

There were many amazing lines and images here, but what really stays with me is the form: the line breaks, the the capital letters...all of it. I'm intrigued.

Precious moments. Amazing moments. Shout-out to "Angry Faun" and bitch-slapping houses.
