These poems are tender and funny and quietly earth-shattering; they are brave and humble and kind. They never try to impress; they try, without trying, to tell the simple (or the complicated) truth (or grief
and loss and long-term love and health-scares and days). Reading them, you will remember how to forgive (beginning with yourself), and you will recall how beautiful and necessary mercy is. These quiet poems both instruct and delight.
