This book took me a long time to read, but I loved it. Really appreciated the way the book felt like a memoir, the poems exploring different parts of Seuss's life, in vaguely (though not strictly) chronological order. I think the thing that stood out most, though, was the humor here. Seuss very explicitly doesn't take poetry too seriously. Many of the subjects she writes about are serious, but there's a constant thread, throughout the book, that's poking good-natured fun at the poetry, poets, writing, her own writing. It's never mean or cynical or anything like that. Rather, it feels very tender. There's a flowing, easy quality to these poems, and I think Seuss's sense of "this is poetry, we're not doing life-saving surgery here" added to that. At the same time, there are so many absolutely breathtaking lines. So many beautiful moments that made me pause. An energetic, moving collection.
