I won't be forgetting this one anytime soon.
A love letter. An autobiography. A masterpiece.
Beautiful organization. I aspire to write how José does!

I just inhaled this book in one sitting. I’m typing this from the bookstore because I haven’t even left yet.

It’s perfect. I loved it. I hope you do too.

I had this on digital loan and didn't realize it was being returned. What I read was so powerful, particularly the first and titular poem. I will definitely go back and finish when I can take it out again.
