    “One of my all-time favorite poems since my undergraduate poetry seminars. Part of Nick Flynn's first book, given to me by my professor Gaby Calvocoressi. The most surreal thing is relating to it as a young adult and then realizing twenty years later that your toddler thinks this is how the world works.”
