Books like Paper boat by Cullen Bailey Burns

Name: Paper boat
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)
Author: Cullen Bailey Burns

"Graceful, generous, deeply felt poems about loss (especially the sudden and tragic loss of a sister), about memory, and about the amoral generosity of the natural world. It is also about being a mother, a daughter and a sister. Like a paper boat, these poems are complicated vessels made of words, and their beauty, finally, is simple, fragile and tragic"--P. [4] of cover.
