I have long been a fan of Barbara Alfaro’s intimate poetry, and it’s lovely to see her work collected here. Alfaro “feels the flames of ordinary life”— she dreams of an early boyfriend, her mother warning her that the boy next door won’t date a girl who beats him at basketball, she longs to tell her dead father she loved him. — and through all of it, the poet is “holding on to Heaven.” A collection to reread.
