The broken, wandering diction evokes grief beautifully and with faithful intensity. It is so easy to write bad poetry about powerful emotions, and so difficulty to express them well. This really captures the essence of feeling in language vital, strong, and yet unobtrusive. It achieves that enviable quality: the words step aside, and the emotion speaks.

I wish I knew something about poetry so I could say why I liked it so much. It felt real, like I knew them.
