Song and Dance: Poems by Alan Shapiro
5.0

This is, I kid you not, the best poetry book I have ever read. I would never have read it on my own since it's not that famous, so I'm incredibly grateful that I was required to read it for my creative writing class. It's truly a remarkable piece of literature.

I don't have a ton else to say because it's poetry, so I don't think it really requires a long, full review from me. But if you're looking for a study of grief, of the before death part of grief, I highly recommend it.
