Thanks, Mehmet! The truth is, I've been way behind in reading poetry myself. I'm sure you've read or read my favorites. (Always Mark Doty, Nick Flynn, Dorianne Laux, Sharon Olds, Marie Howe, Carl Phillips, C. Dale Young, Tony Hoagland, etc.) Recently been enjoying John Rybicki, who has a heartbreaking collection called "We Bed Down Into Water."

By the way what exactly do you do in your new job? It sounds really interesting.

I am so happy you're doing well. And it really gives me hope that a) good things still happen to good people who deserve it (aka "fuck the haters") and b) that I could possibly land a job in the near future that I don't loathe entirely.
