There is a quiet but powerful way that rejection, love, loss, and memory tangle themselves into our actions and our bodies and the poems within these pages showcase that in a way few other collections could. These poems also beautifully exemplify how we can often feel powerful memories as if those moments and those people are still with us. Recommended By Aster A., Powells.com
