An honest, open exploration of grief, fatherhood, and immigration that leaves you feeling light and heavy all at the same time.

You can tell when you read this that the author dearly loved his father who he states has passed away, and his poems regarding his death are so tender. It opens up his heart and bares it for the whole world to see. To add his own experiences with fatherhood into the collection next to his grief is heartbreaking, seeing the parallels.

The subject of immigration is brought up in several poems but it's told in a story-like manner which, sad to say, seems to be the only way a lot of people will feel the most emotional towards it. I don't know if it was the author's intention to do that.

I truly enjoyed this.
