Amazing beyond words. Catherine Weiss is definitely now one of my favourite poets ever.

Catherine Weiss is one of my favorite living writers. I was lucky enough to be asked to write a blurb for their newest collection, GRIEFCAKE:
"Catherine Weiss writes with a wit that both twinkles and devastates—often at the same time. Guiding us through hospital rooms and haunted houses, drive-thrus and beaches, wrestling matches and Mars, Griefcake is a journey, a brilliant unbraiding of what remains after loss."

some favorite lines:
“i want to live long enough to mend”
“I used to believe I was smart / but now I think I just had a vocabulary / and no idea what to do with the worlds piled up around my ankles”
“i need you to know that i am left / grateful”
