![]() ![]() ![]() When a poet embarks on a book as myriad and borderless as this one, we are gifted the rare chance to stand at the threshold of a formidable human storm. The result is a courageous and kaleidoscopic, at times tender and vulnerable, exploration of motherhood and family-set against the backdrops of science, history, religion, myths, and mathematics. Here is a poet who has boldly refused to abide to the expectations of genre-but instead, pushes language and form as a means of asking the most urgent questions. This book is a library whittled down to a message in a bottle. And like me, want only one thing from Jessica Goodfellow – more. You see what I’m doing? I’m reading this book over and over, without ever completely taking it in. But then I read it a first second time and a first third. Reading this book a first time, my only regret was that I couldn’t read it a second first time. Jessica Goodfellow has a joyous intelligence and electric tongue. ![]()
