As I read Eileen Cleary's 2 a.m. with Keats, I felt breathless, suspended in a place of red keys, plum stones, cats, willows, and sphinxes. It would minimize the reach of this brilliant collection to call it an elegy or a eulogy, or even a love story to Lucie Brock-Broido or John Keats, though it is all of those things. Here, in this place where "the elm says Grief and the oak, Grief," the poems shine and scatter across the pages like "a phantom of...

Full of imagery deeply embedded in memories of growing up in the American South, Koets explores what it means to hold-to carry memories-and what to hold onto and what to let go. Birds turn into paper, a voice fits inside a chestnut shell, and moths eat stars...

Si pudieras hurgar dentro de tu alma y explorar el rincón más oscuro, ¿qué encontrarías? ¿Qué canción sonaría? ¿Qué voz te llamaría?

"Not everybody has to be happy all the time. That's not mental health, that's crap." -Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy.
This is not a happy book. This book features poems about depression, the struggles of ADHD, and how to deal with pain when you don't think you can.
But, you should read it anyway. If only because, like me, sometimes you need someone else to put into words the things you don't know how to say... or sometimes can't.
