In my first time ever reading you Emily Dickinson, I birth the new idiot term “pencil letter.” I praise so much today, even as the emotional fog makes happiness nearly impossible. I praise John D’Agata number one, I praise Emily, I praise Bookworm on KCRW, I praise Graywolf Press, I praise New Directions, I praise charged collisions, I praise all of you who join me every week, I praise swollen moons, and I praise even my worries. They are what they are.

"I was thinking of the greatness of what was human, and found myself in the divine." -Jiménez

Things loved: clear nostrils, libraries and blankets. Things hated: sticky stuff on tables and terracotta. Things loved: you and this plant.
