Emily Dickinson - To Recipient Unknown
In my first time ever reading you Emily Dickinson, I birth the new idiot term \u201cpencil letter.\u201d I praise so much today, even as the emotional fog makes happiness nearly impossible. I praise John D\u2019Agata number one, I praise Emily, I praise Bookworm on KCRW, I praise Graywolf Press, I praise New Directions, I praise charged collisions, I praise all of you who join me every week, I praise swollen moons, and I praise even my worries. They are what they are.
