“...This is a book full of delicious surprises....In this terrific book, humor and love and grief pal around together and invite us to join them. The poet asks what her (and our) chances are for replacing dread with curiosity; the poems say she’s already done it.”

“Gretchen Berg has an extraordinary eye for the details of our lives...within those specifics of the everyday, her poems create a space—-of laughter, loss, and remembrance—where gratitude and empathy thrive.”
