5.0

This is a collection of poetry that just made me stop, repeatedly. I keep revisiting lines and ideas even when I have not been reading this furious collection that works to find meaning from human suffering. The forms used are as varied as the language, themes, typography, and images used throughout, which made my reading an experience like few others, and forced me to think about form and content in intriguing ways. I am in awe, and know that I will revisit again and again this work that asks one of the most difficult questions of human suffering, and what we are to take away.
