I'll Leave A Light On by William Bortz

This poetry collection was tender and hopeful and the title poem especially about the act of choosing each other again and again was beautiful. Some stand out poems to me were: Grasping, especially stood out as the tender breath of connection between a baby and parent. Apple Picking, too, about the delight in simple things providing joy in family life daily. Even When The Day Is Over, about returning to the one you love after a day whether full of good or bad moments. Tourniquet, was a great ending poem to remind us all the pain we can inflict on ourselves we have the ability to prevent harming us. A beautiful concept collection of the light family and connection provides us with hope and love, always.
