I didn't rate this book when I read it. I don't know why.

It took me a long time to get through this one because I haven’t had much of a poetry brain lately, which is definitely going to color my review. I don’t remember much from the beginning other than that the grief came through. Some of the imagery was hard for me, which is to be expected. The poems where Courtney spoke directly to Ben spoke to me in particular.

My favorite poems were “Names and Words,” and “Comfort for a Future End. “Keel” parts VI and XII also stood out to me.
