This book is so delicious it makes me hungry. In A Map for Exiting the Body, Jin Cordaro employs a deft sleight-of-hand and layers of wry metaphor to create back roads, detours, surprising vistas of wonder. I’m haunted by phrases like “one small shelter of purpose” and “the numbers of days since your hope was last seen.” Or try a title like “Acerbic You Does Not Like Laid Back You” or “When I Go Too Long Without Reading a Poem.” There's humor lifting the weight, always, with such a genuinely endearing tone. —Naomi Shihab Nye, Tender Spot: Selected Poems
