Description:
The universe this book describes may be random, but it is also both gorgeous and familiar. The poet is in love with the details of the world and brings them to the reader like a bouquet delivered right to your door. So many adjectives apply to this book: gorgeous, wise, erudite, funny, fun, surprising, heartfelt.
