Strange Gift by Veronica Kornberg is a memorable debut that embraces both beauty and discomfort, letting each stand on its own. The poems explore moments that might seem minor at first but are full of emotion.
The collection often feels written from an outsider’s point of view, which shapes the whole book. Kornberg leaves room for reflection, tension, and a kind of honesty that does not always offer solutions. Nature, memory, and family come together in a way that feels thoughtful instead of sentimental.
This is a thoughtful and introspective collection that values truth over comfort, yet still finds room for beauty.
