The book showcases Crapsey's unique style and emotional depth, as it contemplates themes of life, love, death, and the passage of time.

The poems presented in this collection range from joyful celebrations of life to somber reflections on mortality. In pieces like "BIRTH-MOMENT," the vibrant imagery evokes a sense of youthful desire and fulfillment, while others like "TO THE DEAD IN THE GRAVEYARD UNDERNEATH MY WINDOW" confront the inevitability of death with a fierce spirit. Throughout the collection, readers encounter the struggles of human emotion, the beauty of nature, and the complexity of existence. The poignant simplicity of her Cinquains captures specific moments in time with clarity, making profound statements within a minimalistic structure.
