Jenni Finlay's "Table for One" is a collection of poems that carries us into the hospital and motel rooms of hardship and healing. It is a concise, but incisive look at the bewilderment of health problems, their institutions, as well as the confusion and loneliness. Tough, but redeeming. Honest, yet hopeful at the same time.
This was such an honest, loudly quiet, and intimate look at a brief time in someone's life... the kind of times that come to take us under, if we're not careful.
This one needs to be read more than once... or twice... Such brief poems (with wonderful paired images), it works well for that though...
