I appreciate the mixed media, with the photograph experiments as well as the sort of "word art" with poetry laid out in interesting shapes and designs. The main theme of this collection is strong—omnipresent even when the content isn't directly tackling the sobering subject. I suspect I'm giving it three instead of four stars because many of the forms feel too standard for me personally.

Longlisted for the National Book Awards, this poetry collection is not just haunting in its words, but also in the images it contains. The collection deals primarily with her deceased brother and the grief and confusion over his loss. She is a multi-media artist, so this book is also filled with family images with the missing brother cut out and poetry shaped to his form. This presents a compelling, emotional read. 5⭐️
