About Yvette's new book:
"Neisser takes her readers on a journey examining family, religion, love, loss, grief, and recovery ... There is an ache at the center of each poem in this collection – an ache to connect, an ache to understand, an ache to set things right, an ache to reclaim what has been lost. Like the title of the collection suggests, Neisser’s poems consistently turn something hard and cold into something fragile and beautiful."
