Sensitive and sweet, Carson crafts a heartbreaking poem you won't soon forget.
Completely non-linear work of genius. Loved the small red winged monster Geryon.
Haunting and beautiful.
It's not often that a book of poems makes my heart pound. I started reading it before bed on Sunday night. I was EXCITED TO WAKE UP ON MONDAY MORNING because I couldn't wait to get on the subway and continue reading it. On a Monday. Morning. Enough said?
Seldom have I seen a writer so maximize the balance between raw, grated, difficult, emotional pain and beautiful words that make me want to clutch them to my bosom and squeeze them with delight while making burbling noises of pleasure.
