      I made a list of the books I wish to look into based on this article. Look forward to a trip to Barnes and Noble and a cup of coffee. The perfect date day - either solo or with my husband.

      I want to get to the point where I can just write about my favorite things I read in a given year, and the New Yorker will publish it.

      We heard Terrance Hayes perform on an island in New York!

      "The best view of poetry is to have no view, to be lost inside a line, a poem, a book, a new or newly reanimated tradition."

      "You could see how the culture of poetry had flown right over the gates that once constrained it."

      "One of the oldest problems in poetry—how to render the hectic presence of the person in the static notation of the written word—has been rebooted for our moment."

        I want to hear Terrance Hayes perform one day! I love reading poetry, and I found some new reccs in this article. Currently reading Eye Level. So good.
