“This is a brilliant, contemplative, passionate collection. Rich with ‘un-’ words—unreceiving, unanswered, undone—it leads us into the unknowable, invents a new country. A poetry of the afterwards, the collection reaches past ‘unconfronted shadows’ and ‘old acrimonies’ and ultimately toward love. No simple tenderness, this love, but schooled in a long knowing, finally earning the coming of ‘something almost imperceptible, unforced, unbidden’ that reveals ‘the wilder wonder of all.’”—Gabeba Baderoon, author of A Hundred Silences and The History of Intimacy
