Kim Addonizio's poetry comes across at times as gruff, but beneath it beats a soft tender heart searching for love and kindness in an often-cruel world. For me, the standout poem of this collection is "Knowledge" (available online at https://verse.press/poem/knowledge-2400056953145417876). A strong collection.
