“The queen of the prose poem returns with her densest and most reflective/complicated collection yet. Every piece ends with 'the ruins of nostalgia' and every piece looks back on the world, either with a magnifying glass or a thousand-yard stare. Like always, it focuses on art and architecture, culture and loss. One of my favorite living poets doing what she does best.”
