Thank You to Netgalley and Sunrise Press for the ARC.
Reading these poems reads like I'm looking into a persons private diary and thoughts, their prayers to God, and their deepest fears when they lay awake at night.
There is a lot of hopefulness in these poems, but also a lot of pain and reflection on deaths of others and of the eventual self.
A short, reflective read, however the addition of a contents page or list of themes may be useful,as to not look for something lighthearted or spiritual to wind up reading about child death or nuclear destruction.
