A beautiful book of poetry, but so much more than just poetry. This book takes you on a journey. Read it all the way through, like a novel. These are not individual poems. This is one continual poem, one continual story. It may, at first read, seem so simple, and it is, but it continues to resonate through you, and will require more than one reading. This book will reside in my I-have-read-it-but-need-it-near-me book stack.
