As the poet Tony Hoagland has pointed out, most of us .. .walk like zombies through our burning dying world... Not so M Jackson, who in this book moves through the world very much aware of both the little, and individually important, things, such as family, while simultaneously perceiving and understanding the catastrophe that is happening all around us. In this book, she links the one to the other in a flawless and brilliant way. This is superb. --M Jackson Carlos Martinez, author of The Cold Music of the Ocean and The Raw Silk of the Dark
