From whimsical relationship advice to heartbreaking details of a long-term struggle with Friedreichs Ataxia Jude Lallys poems do not leave us indifferent. We root for the speaker in this book and his success at the full-time job of living; we become invested in his interactions with friends relatives and loves. Many of the poems offer a philosophical view of life derived from a unique point of view and we are thankful for the authors poetic discoveries. -Katerina Stoykova
