5.0

I bought this book two years ago and read about 30%, liked it, but set it down because I wasn't really in a place for poetry at the time. Picked it back up yesterday on a whim after receiving some personal news and realized that I was not only in a place for poetry, but that this book/play was exactly what I needed in this moment. 

I will be rereading and will forever recommend.
