Twenty-One

To write eloquently on a hard subject (the death of a child before a parent) must be the most difficult undertaking of any individual. Katherine Swett is both a brave and talented writer. The slim volume of poems is heart-felt and stylistically unique.

Devastating and personal, this was at once the hardest and most beautiful read I've had in quite some time.

Beautiful, touchingly raw emotion translated into poetry.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

A spare glimpse into a soul in pain. A book of mourning. An elegy for a lost child. Ms. Swett writes with a simplicity that suits the raw feeling in her heart. I read it in a single extended breath and then I dreamt about it. Exquisite writing.

Very short poignant poems about an unbearable loss of a child.

Breathtaking.

I read about this volume of poetry by Katherine Swett in the New York Review of Books magazine. And so I ordered a copy. The poems are a hallmark of brevity and purity of soul. They reflect both the beauty and pain of parenting. I can not praise it highly enough. I have purchased these poems as a birthday gift for my husband (an upcoming March birthday). I believe he will love the gift.The seller's service was prompt and efficient. Based on this one experience, I would recommend the seller as reliable.HMc

Very moving work.
