Beautiful as an object, and beautiful poems. Alternately sad and funny, serious and lighthearted, simple and complex, everyday and profound. But always approachable, gentle, and universal. This is not a book to be read cover to cover, but to be savored slowly. It will unfurl with me for years to come.

When you get right down
to it, contraptions,
resemblances -- what

registers between
the wind and the windbell --
me. A ringing of

little stars. And heat,
like silence, like sounds
of children, encom-

passing...I don't know
where to leave off and
don't know as I do.

Read Volume 1 on Caltrain during the spring quarter commuting to my first adjunct job last year. Read Volume 2 teaching in my second Spring quarter in between naps because I now have a car. I think Vol. 1 had more poems that were like woah let me read that again, but Vol II had more deep personal poems.

I want to go out
into and
here I am

of. Every word
like silence
tells as much.
