Book Review: Your Dazzling Death by Cass Donish

This was brilliant, beautiful, and extremely hard to read. In these poems, Donish processes the death of their partner by suicide, and I’m at a loss as I try to think of what’s appropriate to write in a review. These poems are art and pain laid bare. They embody the craft of a brilliant poet grappling with unimaginable grief while at the same time holding so much love. They are a testament to how important Kelly Caldwell was to Donish and the world around her, and Your Dazzling Death is a powerful and moving tribute.
