>:D Imagine yourself stepping into a melancholy milky way. To me, this poetry collection was exactly that. The poems didn't all speak to me the same way Visitors from Abroad & Approach of the Horizon did, but the overall dreamlike, nostalgic tone of them all somehow repaired parts of my soul I never knew were broken before.

this entire collection felt like it came to me in a vision, like I stayed up too late staring out the window and started seeing shapes in the darkness. which is to say, fantastic ambiance! not every poem was a hit, but many certainly left an impact.

A very poignant and sad collection dealing with grief - Louise Glück does a wonderful job summarizing the childlike confusion of the death of a parent. I found myself not as attached to the early poems, but 'A Summer Garden' and 'A Work of Fiction' will forever stay with me.
