From Anne-Marie Oomen, Michigan Author Award Winner: "With immense compassion and gentle humor, Scollon weaves these poems out of a love for the world and grief for its losses. Offering readers a fierce and close attention, she witnesses wonder, geraniums, love, turtles, and the tenderness we crave if we are human. . . . Without ever denying the terrible injustices of our time, but with a lyricism that is both quieting and piercing, these poems offer hope for our better selves, our kindest souls. Sometimes, they make me cry with their beauty."
