this is not only a book but also a CD, and listening to the audio versions of her poems makes me cry. so amazing. you can read a couple of the poems online, including Daddy's Song. this poem on the CD features her father on the track, and it is makes my heart hurt with love and family and mourning. you can see a performance of it on youtube but it's a different version, not with her dad. also you can read the stunning, beautiful, clear-eyed first writing since online, or watch her perform it on youtube. but then you should get the book and read & listen to the whole thing.
