I discovered this author via a wandering day at Half Price Books and this book of poetry has become one of my favorites. It is a quite haunting read, with much surprise and beauty. I love how each poem is a prose-poem in the shape of a paragraph, which makes it easier to read. They are short poems in this way. There are so many beautiful lines here.
