And Luckier - Leatha Kendrick

n nHere's a book about the adjustment to age, the imperfections in the world, n loss and what it makes of a person, and the poet as an absentee Nana, her n grandchild living far away. What does it mean, in a climate changed world, n to pass the stiff diorama of degraded farmland to a scattered family? n Kendrick valiantly copes with not having all the answers in And Luckier.

Her n combination of melancholy and gratitude provides all we can't know of life n and its endings with a majestic understanding. n --Molly Peacockn
