"My doctor’s stethoscope against my chest hears bullets puncturing a classroom door" really cuts. I love "It is held," and your final sentence describing how she moves from fear to hope. I went to Sewanee with Jennifer and have another book of her poetry. Looking forward to this one. Thanks for reviewing it.

Thanks so much, Courtenay! I also loved Jennifer's Let Me Let Go. Nice to be connected with you!
