“ Miranda Jonte has the soul of a poet - but also a storytelling eye and ear deeply grounded in physical reality. Her path to the transcendent is usually carved through the specific: tastes, smells, colors, even erotic itches…her keen sense of the telling detail delivers huge emotional dividends. This is especially true here, in a metaphysical yet very real-world, human-sized, lived-in story of love, loss, and the relentlessly-forward pull of time. Excellent. ”
