I just read those three poems. Really great work. Powerful voice. I really love “I Have Misplaced Entire Languages.” The lines are so taut but at the same time fluid and bending only to where it’s meaning to go or be taken. Crazy good, man.

Thanks so much, Jeff. I am so envious of some of your lines (“…I can read the names/through my eyelids like we read terror/in earth’s shadow obscuring the moon”) that your words are high praise, indeed.

Is there rain in the frying pan when pain sizzles there and the rain on the pane leaks inward; well perhaps a little vinegar will remove the scorch, but it all does seem like a sour thing.
