Customer Reviews

"I used to dream souls, puffed up and sighing"

BITE EVERY SORROW is a multihued book full of both a strange sadness and the glowing wonder of laughter. "If there are oceans to saddle/ if you could get there, catch the horse/ if you are holy, long enough/ the suger will be taken from your right hand." Ras writes. She provides the saddle, and if you are holy enough, it will certainly give you an exhilarating ride through the lush scenery of her soul.

wonderful!

Ras discribes everyday life as if it were all genuine feelings. Wonderful discriptive language that paints many bright colored pictures.
