What is poetry supposed to do but move you? 

What is art supposed to do but make you feel? 


This book, regardless of anything else I have to say about it, did that. 

I will be thinking about the turn of the page, to be met with a shock of brilliant photographic sky, pregnant with rain for days. 

And that is enough.
