Every once in a while, there will be a collection of poems that leaves you breathless, too stunned to speak. This is one of those collections. Each poem is a bullet shot straight to the heart, a ghost that lingers behind you, a spell cast over your mind. Bewitching and beguiling, the collection sings together if only to make you realize that there is, perhaps, some beauty in this cruel world, some measure of love and community admist structural inequities of the day.
