This fun little gem has that handmade feel that makes you want to hold the chapbook in your hands, rub your thumb over the cover to feel the paper, and carry it around with you all summer. It reads like a long summer day, whatever that means. Like you're stuck in the head of someone in perpetual physical relaxation with a mind that won't turn off.
