"This is the book of poetry I recommend to anyone who tells me they have a hard time with poetry. Kay is such an accessible writer while also maintaining a masterful use of language and lyricism. This is a book that teaches you how to love poetry. She writes emotionally and with humor about home, young love, family dynamics, and what it means to have a heart that sometimes feels too big for your body. If you have been curious about what poetry has to offer but haven't found a good entry point, I highly recommend starting here."
