This is my knee, since she touches me there.
This is my throat, as defined by her reaching.
This collection is something really special. Itâs not immediately accessible, but once you peel back the layers of each poem (scrolling through the dictionary a few timesâŚ), itâs so worth the work. Some favorites of mine include âManhattan is a Lenape Wordâ, âAmerican Arithmeticâ, âThey Donât Love You Like I Love Youâ, âThe First Body Is The Waterâ, âexhibits from The American Water Museumâ, and âIsnât the Air Also a Body, Moving?â. Too many favorites! I love the way she writes about water, light, language, and the body. I love how she connects the poems to one another through vocabulary and metaphor. Absolutely excellent and stunning.Â
