Zero at the Bone

Notes

A hot mess of memoir, poetry, literary criticism, and maybe some theology, from Wiman. I didn't love this? I think there's a lot good here, I just never grokked to the format. As always, I'm slow to pick up on a rhythm in a book, and this maybe just wasn't enough time for me?
