Incredible poet
"To science making you dream of brontosaurus"
"I have taken a liking to sourdough bread savory, toasted, broken with breakfast among friends"
"She would not haunt the exhumists;"
Bush extracts the salt of the earth with this one and calls it what it is -- crystal.

Great book on grief and the societal pressures of conventional relationships. Not gonna lie it was a hard read for me in that it drudged up some old family wounds but still one of my new all-time favorites.
