The cover and the illustrations are stunning. I’ve only read Marla Miniano once and that was for that one poem she had on Poetry Magazine. I will say that I find her as the stronger writer (especially for her verse) in this book than Lansangan. Lansangan’s verses have a tendency to be void of punctuation—which isn’t really a bad thing, there are plenty of writers who do get away with that kind of thing—which, for some first time readers of poetry in general, kind of odd and it’s one of those things that make me feel as if I’m running out of breath. Lansangan’s prose, on the other hand, is better.

Overall it’s a decent read, one you can finish in a day.
