I both loved it and hated it, but I don't think it would be possible to assign it a star rating. If you read it, it'll melt your brain. I found a copy of this book of poems that is short listed for the National Book Award on Hoopla, and I loved it so much I bought my own copy. It’s probably my favorite book of poems I’ve read this year. As the title implies, these poems are a profound look at impermanence in our lives and our world. It was a little hard to read at first due to lack of punctuation and strange line breaks, but don’t let that throw you off. These are beautiful. 💕💕 no reviews | add a review
Awards
Short-listed for the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry The poems in The Book of Endings try to make sense of, or at least come to some kind of reckoning with absence - the death of the author's mother, the absence of the beloved, the absence of an accountable god, cicadas, the dead stars arriving, the dead moon aglow in the night sky.
