I picked up this book because it hit a couple prompts for a couple reading challenges.I think poetry, in order to be really good, has to hold that hit for most of the time you are reading it. This did have times when my chest tightened and tears threatened to form. The story told through these poems is heartbreaking. Like stacked cotton, feathers, and clouds you start to feel the heaviness.I will leave this off with a quote from this book that struck me and thinking about it now has me tearing up.“This life needed only one of us to live. If you had lived beyond those first few hours, I would not be living now.My life means yours is impossible.Only in the gap between darkness and light, only in that blue-tinged breach, do we manage to make out each other's faces.”
