clairarity's review
5.0
I absolutely adore her poetry - it's very raw and emotional. I very much want to read her memoir, The Long Goodbye, before I go into too much detail about the poetry. I can't imagine visiting the same experiences through two mediums because I don't think I'd be able to bear it. She does it beautifully in this collection, and I'm hoping that the earlier memoir that covers her mother's diagnosis, illness, and death is equally beautiful and affecting.

Such a devastating collection of loss, memory, and living in the wake of grief. These poems are carefully written and they spill over with haunting imagery.
