Mercury
Mercury
by Ariana Reines
Staff Pick
This book reads like a story petered out in clear unpretentious style between long works which weave together a sense of communication, as if with a lover, a friend, or oneself. Reines has an uncanny ability to make the mundane a powerful source of emotional relief. I keep turning back to the beginning whenever I turn the last page and am illuminated more with every reading.
