My top book for 2023! Hands down! I have been telling everyone To read this book. It’s hard to find a better writer than Lauren Groff- period. Her sentences are delicious! I fell in love with Matrix- And was so excited to hear about this novel as a diptych- or even the second in a triptych! Amazing! Buy it and cancel all appointments For a day or two!

I felt such despair for the protagonist who just kept running in fear.

Of poetry, literature of song and life woven together eternally. She must win the Pulitzer Prize for this.

A poem about life and living. Interesting in its use of language and the study of life in the wilderness that is America. Worth a read.
