We've all seen I'm not usually a poetry person, but I enjoyed this collection! The topics were split between personal memoir and the author's indigenous culture (CHamoru). I really loved the inclusion of a glossary to highlight the inclusion of the different languages used in these poems.
No rating because it's mostly memoir.
