“The Second Longest Day of the Year offers us a poetic landscape that is easily entered but not lightly forgotten. Jean Prokott’s writing is agile. It moves gracefully from a stark wittiness and conversational observations to unforgettable imagery evoking the true palpability of grief. You’ll find yourself pausing between pages to reflect and revel; to mourn or query; to grow and keep going.”
–Sierra DeMulder, author of Today Means Amen

“All the people I know who would have benefited most from Jean Prokott’s witty, beautiful, quirky, and devastating poems are already dead. But I love this book because it brings them back to me, helps me understand them better, and reminds me that ‘no one you love is dead.'”
