This collection of 23 poems celebrates reading in all forms—from the back of a cereal box to sports statistics to maps to, of course, books. It also explores the many ways reading changes us as stories fly like birds “…to branches / in your brain / where they sing / into your soul / like soothing / summer rain.”
