This book was posthumously published after the author died of cancer. The poems at the beginning are refined and meaning-laden, but the treat of the book is seeing “behind the scenes” excerpts from the author’s journals. You can see her process of creating these beautiful odes to the universe. I was most moved by a few of her poems towards the end that addressed her impending death.
