Challenging, sad and reflective. These poems packed punches of anger and grief.
Some fav quotes:
"None of the beaten end up how we began." - part 1, duplex
"A poem is a gesture toward home." - part 1, duplex
"I'm not crossing to cross back. I'm set on something vast. It reaches long as the sea. I'm more than a conqueror, bigger than bravery. I don't march. I'm the one who leaps." - part 3, crossing
