I haven't had goosebumps like this since I read The Prophet by Gibran.

I need this book. I /need/ it.

Siken is perfection. A Litany... is what inspired my username. And You Are Jeff is one of my favorites as well!

Agreed, so hard. And when I saw your username, I was immediately reminded of Litany, but the "bedroom" part threw me a little so I wasn't sure, haha.

Thank you so much for this compilation and the lovely formatting - I've been hearing about Siken so much from my friends and I can't wait to start reading! ♥

Oh, hello ♥! I'm so glad to see that people are still stumbling upon this. I hope you will enjoy his work as much I have, some of it is seriously breathtaking. Thank you for commenting!

Aww, yay, found this post through my referral logs (I run the poetry Tumblr where Meanwhile is posted). So glad to see more Siken-love in the world!

Oh wow, thank you for posting it, it was difficult to find his lesser-known poems online. I'm disappointed that your tumblr only runs through April, but I'll be sure to check back next year. Thank you for stopping by!
