A glimpse into the mind of Nick Flynn who, if you don't know his story, is one to read into. A compilation of thoughts from his previous books, poems,
photographs, and collages.
Mary Ruefe, poet and essayist, spoke to this book in a way that really spoke to my thoughts on it as well: "If you could string a wire between life and death and
pluck it, it would make the sound of this book. All Flynn's ephemera - and writing itself is ephemera; life is ephemeral
- shows us, from the ground up and onto our shoulders, that it is dangerous to be
alive, but the truly deep, massive, complicated thing is to wake up and try."
