Jennifer Horne's Letters to Little Rock is an empathic yet unsentimental document of grief that doubles as a celebration of her father. Do not think somber. Poem after poem strikes a match that reveals a life lived well. Horne's particular brilliance is to set a tone and hold to it step by step, with both wit and wisdom, and in various modes that surprise and delight. My happiness depends on finding, rarely, such marvelous books.
