In this collection of poetry, voice is given to the delicate nuances of life, death, and what it means to be happy. What is right, what is wrong, and what should be talked about are explored with poems like "inappropriately immodest”, while notions of loss are explored glibly with poems like "an involuntary manslaughter" and more in-depth to the nature of sorrow with poems like “The world was glad for him”. Poems like “I came out” haunt with their lines Their kiss is soft and cool on my skin, and tastes of a color I've never seen. The collection is completed with the poem, "been a while”, guaranteed to occasion remembrance of cloud watching and days of yore.
