This was the third time in just a couple days someone recommended Matthew Olzmann to me, so his work is the rabbit hole I'm diving into this week, and I'm not sorry about it. Also, thank you for the time and care you put into this newsletter. I know it is not a small thing to write a weekly newsletter. As someone else said, I too look forward to it every week, and I am constantly learning to be a better reader/writer/human because of it.

Great poem - thank you for this: "The other is that boundless love is possible, but is often run aground by the very real and honest imperfections that come with being a human."

Yes, aphorisms are reductive and avoidant for sure. Why is it so hard for many of us (besides therapists) to just say, "Talk to me about that. How does that feel?"

Your meditations on poetry and verse have become a sacred part of my Sunday morning ritual that I look forward to each week. Thank you for sharing reflections that swim through the waters of the heart.
