The Do-Over by Kathleen Ossip. “This wonderful, poignant and critically acclaimed book of poems (with some prose bits thrown in) is an homage to the poet’s beloved mother-in-law who has passed away and reflects the poet’s attempts to understand what this woman means to her, in life and in death (‘I never want to forget how this feels I will of course forget’). Her style is colloquial and varied, and always engaging. Great even for novice poetry readers.”
