I freaking love poetry with story!

Wow, this was a little bit of a random book for me, but I'm so glad I read this. Robert Lynn has such a spectacular, accessible way of addressing his reader. I could feel as though he were communicating directly to me. Most importantly: I appreciate poets who weave together a story throughout their works. Yes, the individual poems are beautiful on their own; but when they contribute to an overall narrative, it just takes the whole experience to another level. Discussing themes of loss, pain, change, life and death, and so much more, these are both impactful and beautiful to behold.
