therkive's review

5.0

Each poem had a striking line -- on love, on survival, on complacency, on growth -- and for that reason alone, I could not put the collection down.

Refined storytelling through poignant poetry. I enjoyed this and appreciated the discussion questions and interview added to the Civil Dialogue edition.

More accurate rating: 3.75 stars.

Don't be fooled. Just because I rated this book 3.75 stars, that doesn't mean I didn't really like it.
