This week is "read books by authors my friends turned me on to" apparently. I am so glad CJ told me about this poet because every single poem in this book is just incredible. Moving, powerful, passionate, it really takes over me as I'm reading it until I don't particularly want to do anything else but keep reading. It always surprises me to get to the end because I get so swept up I forget I'm reading.
