Fuck, this book. The whole book. And the last three poems. Sobbing through them.

I loved this one. Sprawling, intimate, full of dreams and water.

Somewhere Roxane Gay wrote "I was stunned to stillness" about a book. I can't remember where. Maybe it was a blurb? Anyway I think about that a lot because it is a very specific feeling I get with some books. Being stunned into stillness. This book did that. Incredible.
