It was a joy to read these poems that pulse with life, that pay the closest attention to the small stuff as well as grand questions, that pull these subjects together so that it veers from one to the other, always surprising, going this way and that with punctuation and line breaks.

This read is delightfully fast, you can run your eyes down the page at any pace you like. Such a pleasurable experience.

I‘m something
unreliable
and this
is a day for
poetry.
I‘m trying to understand why I liked this book so much and I don‘t know. Given that I don‘t have an answer, I don‘t entirely know how to recommend this book and how to write a review for it! I‘ll sum it up by saying that there are just some really wonderful moments that pull you in and honestly Eileen Myles is so much fun to read out loud!
