Review: Wow. This book is clear, strange, beautiful and true. The poems keep veering towards some kind of familiar place, then shying away just in time to leave a vacuum and draw us into a land or dream or something scape where we can feel some feelings we have always somehow known we have. This book comes along quietly and just makes an amazing place to be, which is something so many books of poems (that seem to be so much more about admiring what the poet has read, can do, knows, has experienced, etc.) don't do nowadays. I couldn't be more sure that you will love this book.
