| I read part of this book as a paperback and listened to several chapters with Seth via Librofm and listened to even more on my own with Libby. So, lots of media involvement. I loved this book and am recommending it all over the place. The writers are ...more | |

| I enjoyed this book, more of a novel in stories. Not at all the conventional structure of novels today. The stories of each life, each character, unfurled. And so beautiful. I wonder sometimes about Joan Silber: how does she know (and she does) how j ...more | |

| I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to read this book! I bought it when I still lived in California, 6.5 years ago now. These poems were so bittersweet, full of grief: for the mother, for the speaker's body in illness, for the daughter the speaker ...more | |

| Oh my gosh, this book is brilliant, and I should buy it so I can reread it. Of course it's overdue at the library. The poems are funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. I can relate to loving poetry/literature with this kind of fierceness and comin ...more | |

| After reading Phillips's craft book, My Trade Is Mystery, I wandered to my bookshelves and found this bittersweet collection. The word "ache" came to mind throughout. The poem "Tower Window" has stayed with me for several days after reading it. The k ...more | |

| I enjoyed this book--I tried to make it last by reading one essay a day but finished the last three in one gulp today. The book made me want to read Carl Phillips's poems, especially his first book. I love the way he described the urgency of writing ...more | |

| I loved this book and appreciated Nicole Sealey's helpful foreword. I was surprised by how much I loved Jordan's essay about poetry for the rest of us and Walt Whitman. I need to read more of Jordan's work. ...more | |
