"Using a diverse array of poetic styles, this stunning collection explores a wide range of themes-from the complexities of love and loss to profound meditations on the human experience in the modern world. From the determined march of a disconsolate ant to kids skywriting pleas for a better world, Booth-Jones masterfully captures the oft elusive sparkle in the everyday through playful and innovative wordplay. A delight to read, and re-read."
-Sarah Ladipo Manyika, author of
Between Starshine and Clay
"Booth-Jones commands language with a clarity and vitality that is rare in today's poetry. He works irony into the idyllic, never allowing us to wallow in sentimentality. His collection thrills the senses."
