Things are okay. Nich was here and then he left. Andy is still here and so am I.

A long time ago, I read The Cinnamon Peeler on ciole's recommendation. I thought it was o-k but didn't feel so wowed as to go back and read anymore of his poetry.

Is there any book or piece in particular that you'd recommend?

Love.
