Not quite sure what to say other than Incredible. If you have any interest it the topic itself this collection will blow you away.

Actually available as an ebook though I purchased the p-book used (as I typically do with poetry and non-fiction).

Highly recommended.

Here's a link to one of her poems at Poets.org:

What a wonderful poem "Flounder" is. I'm going to have to put her in my list of people to read. Thanks, Kenny!
