lacywolfe's review against another edition

The cover features this short blurb by Annie Dillard: "These poems form a true and riveting narrative. Reading Spencer Reece makes you recall why you love poetry." This rings so very true to me. Very infrequently do I have the urge to start a book again as soon as I finish, but Reece's poetry inspires just that feeling. Most of the poems spoke to me on some level. I particularly like Gilgamesh Fragments. Heartbreaking and beautiful.

i finished this at a bar in greenpoint called Goldie’s. i feel like i can see the author here in this glittery, 70s themed bar.
this collection of poems was both candid and yet elevated which i feel is inevitable, this being a work by a member of the clergy and all. i have friends i feel would resonate more with this work than I did but i still enjoyed it.

Nostalgic, lyrical, incredibly beautiful, spare--I loved it. These poems describe ordinary life in simple language, and in doing so achieve an incredible spiritual and emotional depth.

3.75 stars. I really like Reece's style, and there was one section of one poem in particular that I really loved. A solid collection that would hold up well to repeat readings.
