As prose stories recount plot, these poems recount emotion: the many stages of yearning for a heart’s companion who cannot ever return.

Pure poetry
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got this book, but I loved all the poems in it. There were so many sections I highlighted. I think Lieberman captured the essence of grief so perfectly and it reminded me a lot of Tennyson's In Memoriam poems. There was so much packed into so little.

I loved the concept of this collection, and I thought that most of the work was very well done, especially in isolation. Together, they became too repetitive for me to enjoy.
