Lovely delicate reading of the ever amazing Berman. You get close to expressing why we love reading/living good poems.

Oh this was so beautiful. I love the way you talk about poetry so much.

I wanted to share the poems I always find myself (re)turning to: Rain by Raymond Carver, New York Address by Linda Gregg, Meditations in an Emergency by Cameron Awkward-Rich, & Molly Brodak by Molly Brodak.

Could not relate to the poems you chose is so wonderful, confusing how they touched you so deeply felt like poor poetry to me. I loved your piece from Toni Morrison however.
