Breahtaking

I was given the assignment to read this book of poetry as part of a final exam during a creative writing class, and I absolutely adored it. Sze's poems are beautiful. I could not do them justice in this simple little review. His words are chosen carefully, the sentences ebbing and flowing into one another perfectly. I love going back and reading these poems, looking for something I missed or stumbling upon a gem of a sentence among the pages. Highly recommended!
