Pure Brilliance!

Found this book in Greenwich Village on my last trip to NYC. I was just flipping around and waiting for my friend to finish browsing; so I opened up this book and started reading. Every poem is a paragraph long, under a page in length, and by the time I had read two or three of them, I couldn't put it down. It was so real!!! I left the store with this book that day and have purchased several others (including "Nice Fish" and "Just Beneath the Water"). Buy him, read him, love him!!! I went to Duluth, Minnesota, last year to see the area he often writes about. It is incredible too!
