” An unconventional and inventive coming-of-age memoir arranged around forty-three impressive poems by poets such as Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens and Sylvia Plath … For Jill Bialosky, particular poems stick out like signposts at pivotal moments in a life: the death of a daddy, teenage years, first love, leaving house, the suicide of a sis, marriage, the birth of a child, the day in New york city City the Twin Towers fell … she lights up the methods which specific poems used insight, empathy, and connection, and shows how poetry can be a blueprint for living”–
