Gardens grow salty over the fued in their roots

The pieces I found most compelling in this book are Emails To A Professor In 2011; The World Is Ending And I Have To Tell The World; There Never Was A Hat; 3. Rhyming Dictionary; and May.

This book details a history of struggling to grow up, struggling with mental illness, and loss. It brings light (shadow?) to the reality of this pain.

To me, the poems in this book read as if they were meant for spoken word. I think hearing these poems read out loud would do a lot of good for the experience.
