EDITORIAL PRAISE

I love this poem for its expansiveness, and its use of a layered, nonlinear form to explore the many rooms and passageways through one’s faulty, earnest, and intense recollections. The poem is devastating and tender and honest—what else could one ask for in a poem that orbits the wreckage of heartbreak?
