""Like the finest impressionist paintings, these poems' medium of linguistic light and shadow render the many nuances of a heartfelt and hard-won life, testament to the joys and sorrows of womanhood, motherhood, and marriage. Like the most arresting symphonies, the musical lyricism of these poems captivates the soul line by line. Like the most compelling collections, this book elucidates our understanding of struggles and hopes with utterly unique and surprising tropes.""--Richard Blanco, fifth Presidential Inaugural Poet and author of Homeland of my Body
