Oh GOD. Like little jewels. Sad, quiet, beautiful, little fucking jewels. Really amazing. Getting back into poetry again is entirely worth it just for the sake of having read this book.

That good, huh? Might have to go find it at the library.

Find it! Love it! So great.

The only copies in our library network are in Acton and Wayland, so I had one of them reserved for delivery here next week. I figure that if you can trust me on the LUSH-bubble front, I can certainly sink a whopping thirty cents into your poetical say-so. :)

Well, you and I do have pretty different aesthetics when it comes to poems. But these are just SO GOOD, I can't imagine anyone not liking them. Even my mom wants to borrow the book!
