[Burgi Zenhaeusern · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a requiem this beautiful little book by Jenny George! The short poems--I'd like to call them poignancies--are as brilliant as they are heart-wrenching.

PS:
Bull City Press is such a treasure trove of great poetry.

Never felt so much in such few words. This book is a haunting, a triumph, a field of snow were footsteps once were. Anyone who understands loss will be incredibly rocked by this.
