Quick to read but not to forget--you'll be pondering what you've read long after you close the pages. I can see a multitude of experiences and thoughts reflected in the pieces within, with a range of emotions explored. My favorites: "Palimpsest", "The Other One". Also really connected with this line from "Receding Tide": "Your slaps will only be noise" Read the book yourself to see why! Do yourself a favor and get a copy.
