Haunting, aching, a strong strong sense of place. It's such a comprehensive and devastating collection. I've read individual poems by Bruce Snider before and was impressed with how he constructs narratives in his poetry (highly, highly recommend reading "Devotions", a poem I think about constantly https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poet...), but put together in a volume that tells a story across a landscape that becomes striking when Snider describes it ("Have I reached the end of the world? Or Indiana?") the poems become astounding. A collection that's going to stick with me for a while.
A lovely, tender and tragic collection. Quirky and elegiac at times.
