These poems break all kinds of poetry "rules"--rules like, don't end a poem about love with "I love you." And, every time, they remind us of something deeper, something braver about how words can help us care for each other. They remind us that a Supreme Court judge is not only a tool of the patriarchy, but also--despite that--a woman, a person, and that people are all we have. They remind us that love and disillusionment, grief and gratitude, can fill us without canceling each other out. They remind us that tragedies don't look artful when you live them, but that art can save us, that art can help us save each other. I'm so grateful to have read this book.
This book of poetry left me speechless. It was so authentic and raw and clever! I cannot wait to see what Bree Bailey continues to create in the future.
Bree Bailey's incredible voice resounds like pure electricity in this stunning debut. From her use of technical form to her command of language, this collection is marvelous. She writes candidly and tenderly of grief, loss, motherhood, love in a way that brings the reader back to themselves. This book is proof positive that under the greatest pressures, diamonds are forged.
Outstanding way to express events of the authors life.
Excellent!
