As are the previous two, a remarkable portrait of friendship. My parasocial relationship with Lenu is through the roof.

Fascinating project, with the opacity of the poems sometimes overwhelming the desire to bring the individuals in the massive death toll back. It’d be interesting to read a fully reported history of the massacre and then come back to this.

A splendid book of poetry, with bonus levels of meaning if you’re familiar with either the DMV or Florida locations. Variety of forms and approaches to content. Well worth your time.
