What a delightful collection of poetry! I began reading it yesterday to kick off national poetry month; I was eager to continue and finished it just a day later. Cleverly and engagingly pondering all the ways we read, write, and think in poetic images and verses, Sutphen made me smile over and over again with her observations, analogies, and linguistic creativity. Highly recommend!
