Chan's Christian poetry is deeply touching and was my favorite part of this collection.

blessed to live in the same world as a friend with the keenest eye for the beauty that permeates the joys and the heartbreaks of our everyday lives, broken bodies broken like bread, that there may still be hope in it all.

An assured and precise voice carries the reader through this collection marked by surprises and Easter eggs - whether through turns of language or detail.

Jonathan is a wonderful and insightful poet. This volume lives up to and exceeds the high and deserved praise it has received. Inshallah, we shall all be blessed with many more equally remarkable volumes from his beautiful mind.
