“These poems, quiet, urgent, open into their reader with the same love their maker feels for the world. Attention is the partner of longing here, and they bear weight by understanding that the self opens only as it is opened by likeness, where pear flesh is flesh itself, where one can speak and fall like rain, or bones, or like a window between inside and outside. These are beautiful devotions, invitations, quiet songs.”
