Siken *

My B!

I can't believe you haven't stumbled across him.
Buy his book, my favorite book of poetry if I had to choose just one.

How are you Marina?
Do you have any advice for me, 22 is strange?
What are you doing?

I have heard of richard siken though i haven't read him; it was the skin that threw me.

i am good, very good. my advice for 22 is be patient. notice as much as you can. be receptive. your life is evolving. pay attention to that, honor that. also, be as kind as you can at all times. i think i was a year younger than you are now when you came to visit me in santa fe.

i am ... working a lot. getting ready to go back to school. my one year wedding anniversary was the 31st. i am reveling in my own happiness.

how are you, eric? what are you up to these days?
