Lovely collection. Kitchen proves that essays can be as powerful and breathtaking as well crafted poems. She proves the truth does not have to be boring. She turns the form on its head. Though these essays reveal the details of Kitchen's past and present, the poetic writing engages readers and encourages us to explore similar details and associations in our own lives. The writing is lush and vibrant. This is a great book for anyone who appreciates good writing and personal narrative.
