Editorial Review

“The author is analytical at times, breaking down her symptoms as if identification and categorization will make them more manageable, but other poems come from a more primal place, the thoughts that come when life feels both precious and unendurable. . . Sometimes spare, even simple, and at other points sharply intelligent, the shifting language draws readers in, whether through the vulnerability of unadorned sentences laying emotional truths bare, or through the sparking of intellectual curiosity to slow down, ponder, and find meaning. . .”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
