An absolutely lovely book of poems; a perfect compliment to my solitary summer evening walks. In particular, the first poem, “How to Triumph Like a Girl,” struck a chord and will stick with me for a long time. I keep reading it over, and over, hoping it will imprint on my significantly-less-than-eight-pound heart.
