An exact and heart breaking assessment of my reality. This is why poetry can break open what nothing else can touch. Thank you for these words and for all the words you’ve written. They’ve been a constant in my life.

Emily Dickinson once defined poetry this way: “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only way I know it. Is there any other way?” Your writing, Sherman, blows the top of my head off. Thank you.
