I've spent the day with this tender, fierce book feeling big feels and crying little cries. What an absolute gift to hold so many of Lyd's poems in my hands at one time. What an absolute gift to sit with them and grieve and grin and make little noises in the back of my throat. So many underlines, so many hearts in the margins, so many dog-eared corners for quickest reference in the future. You'll find no clichés here; only sharp observations, stunning turns of phrase, and line breaks that will simultaneously break and rebuild your heart. This is so, so GOOD. ( )
