A book of essays – genre-bending ones – by someone who is “sometimes called a poet, sometimes an essayist, sometimes a lyric essayist, sometimes a prose poet” (101). Some are about writing, many are about life, and most feel like they follow closely the fluid movement of the author’s mind. Some cleverness and some lovely writing in here for sure, but also some that are more like shimmers that remain just out of reach – enticing, but I couldn’t get a good enough hold on them to really take them in.
