in memoriam

so i work at a library so i always have access to books, new or old. a couple months ago, my coworker was ordering new books for the adult floor and told me i might like this one and i should put it on hold for myself. when i finally got it, it took thirty pages to make me buy it for myself even though i would now always have access to it here. when i got my own copy i annotated and highlighted like crazy, i was pouring over every word, trying not to finish it too fast but unable to put it down. it was the first book in eight years that i read at night in my bed. ive since read it four times, and highlighted more each time. i honestly feel like i wrote it at this point. im now obsessed with poetry (thanks, ellwood) and im reading more than ever. so yeah, just wanted to rant about my favorite book ever :)
