I love the Li-Young Lee poem and immediately went to see him read "Peaches." Not only is he a wonderful poet, but he reads his poems beauitfully. I'm not very good at writing poetry, but you've certainly got me stimulated to try! Thank you, Jim.

Fantastic, Sandy.

I'd love to read any 'tryings' when it comes to you exploring poetry. Try to look at it as a playground rather than a prison, a space to breathe and express over be overwhelmed.

Onwards, I have faith in you man.

'temporary arms' - has reverberated throughout my week.

They feel all encompassing, tender, weightless, yet heavy as a ruptured heart.

Having 'cool' and 'ridiculous' in the same sentence to describe me SO works. I appreciate you, and your head, heart, eyeballs, for reading and feeling it all. THANK you.
