When my sister saved the Body of Christ
for after Mass and fed it to the ducks
to make them holy, I believed it just might.


Reads a lot like a road trip through memory, I loved the temporal fluctuations and overlaps. Tara Skurtu very accurately captures this distinct feeling of otherness when drifting between the country which raised you and the one which holds yours ancestors' history (but to which you feel overwhelmingly foreign to).

There is a portion in the book’s final poem that details the author’s experience of being invited to spend an hour in Emily Dickinson’s room writing a poem. What an honor that must have been.
Based on this brilliant collection, I’d consider it an honor to spend an hour and even more reading anything Ms. Skurtu has written.
