I'm still working my way through reading this one again, but I was really blown away the first time through. Hadn't read any of her work previously, though I'd looked through her first two books at various times (not feeling compelled) and have her Ahsahta one on the shelf to read. I'll definitely get to those other ones, now. Once I finish reading this one again, that is.

Okay, so I always give poetry 4-5 stars. But seriously this one is great. I was fortunate enough to see her at a reading. She read a few selections from this book and it is definitely worth the read. I feel as though I could give this to anyone (familiar with poetry or not) and he/she would really enjoy it.

It also helps that she's my english teacher too.
Not that I'm biased or anything!

Reading this right on the heels of 100 Notes, I enjoyed it less. But this is such a more subtle book, that reaction seems unfair. In both of the books' weaker moments, I felt like I could see the poet behind the poems, putting them together, collecting lines, and I'd rather not see that, I'd rather the poems seem inevitable. The best do.
