I loved that this collection of poetry centers on the idea of the ordinary and every day and does this with the use of everyday ephemera. This is a really smart way to arrange the pieces and ideas thematically. I liked how, although it's about the ordinary, it is still full of colorful and textured imagery and language that evokes the senses. Overall, this was a beautiful collection of poetry that is richly layered.
