Important Things From the Night Before
1) Book titles that are really very good: Mom Dad Me, My Feelings. (I was at a poetry reading where the poet made jokes about these two book titles - apparently he had come across My Feelings as a poetry chapbook sample. Yes that makes it way funnier. This poet is so good that sometimes I feel like he should be dead, so he can be appreciated.)
2) Also: says the poet, “New York is filled with rapacious capitalists dressed up as hipsters.” This, of course, being a reply to a question that started with “How do you abide Texas?”
