This collection is saturated with vivid images that I just loved. The poems felt real, autobiographical, close, and tender. They were obviously personal but you can still enter into them and be a part of the story. I had more to say, but I feel like a review of such a great book has to be more eloquent than I can do right now. Excellent is a good word to end on. Read this book; it's excellent.
