I appreciated that this book could be about his father's decline and death and also about everything else, about war, about poetry, about bees. I think what will stay with me will be his last poem, "Haiku". It is about trying to write a haiku about a bee he sees sleeping in a flower, but then he realizes that the poem is about his wife's hand that he has forgotten was holding his the whole time.
