BLOWN AWAY by this collection. Haven't read something this fierce - in the realm of poetry - in a long, long time.

The interplay between what the poet is going through and what is imagined through her poetry is very stark and at the same time coy with us.
Her letters to Thanatos and Eros are some of my favorites while her lullabies are haunting and make you think.
