Nick, you have always had a gift for finding the sentence that carries an entire life, and this poem is filled with them.
As a writer, I admire the way you let love and anger occupy the same space without asking either one to make room for the other. As your friend, I am grateful you trusted us with something this deeply personal.
That was a really personal piece that was hard to read at times, gets quite close to the bone. Beautifully done.
This felt heavy to read. You done a great job putting so much in such condensed format Nick!
