Favorite is "Dear Life" — love every line of that one. Other favorites include "Genii Loci," "Reading," "The Scores," the "Wound is the Origin of Wonder" poem on p. 54, "Letter to Noah's Wife," "Milton Visits Galileo in Florence," "Ghost Crabs," and "There Must Be a Meaning." Liked "Pestilence" and the other few poems that alluded to the pandemic, too, but the current public health crisis is still a bit too fresh for me — I will probably really like such poems in about 10 years.
