What a wise, tender, and beautiful offering about grief.
The art is gorgeous, I will be thinking about ghosts and the shapes they take up for a long time.
I want to buy copies of this to give away to people I love who are grieving.

Expansive poetry about sound and lineage.
More than one poem made me cry.
The [captions] are especially brilliant and moving.

This is brutal, a book about brutality.
The ferocity of Tamimi's love and hope is louder though.
Read, then act.

Soft sweaters, queer books, and baseball.
It's perfect.
No notes.

Every sentence in this book basically stunned me.
The beautiful precision of the languages.
The smashing together of words into worlds.

So much majestical language play.
So much looking deeply.
I ate this book.

Really interesting story about disability and illness in a family.
Not enough depth or self-analysis for me.
Glad I read it.

So sweet and cute!
A mix of funny and real.
I smiled a lot. A+ parents.

So dense and so smart.
So glad I own it.
Just beginning.

This is my second Osman book.
I love his language! So alive.
So many small moments of big life.
