Starts off strong, gets a little didactic in the middle. Ends with a tour-de-force in Part IV, with a cycle of poems honoring and remembering his father.
“I have feared to be unknown / and to offend — I must speak, / then, against the dread / of speech,” he writes in a reflection on his marriage.
“We live in time / as in hard rain, and have no shelter,” he writes in explanation of his father’s fears.

I’m worth $1MM in prizes. I am without excuse.
I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.
