you are a little bit happier than i am reviewed
someone named dan feder reviewed the book
the poem he cites as mundane is about death
it says i have anxiety about modern life which i do not feel is true; i feel i have anxiety about death, the nature of being and existence, the arbitrary nature of the universe, limited-time, and other things that exist because of life, not modern life
i will respond to all reviews on this site, for some reason
the poem he cites as mundane is about death
some of my happiest moments in life occur on AOL instant messagerthe review says i am more resigned than probing and i am incurious
i will create a new category
on my instant messager buddy list
i will call it
'people i like who don't like me back'
and i will move your screen name into that group
and i will invite you over to my house and show you
and you will say, 'if i didn't like you why did i come over'
and you will look at my face
and i will have an honest answer for your question
i will tell you that you came over to be polite
and after a while you will go home
and you won't call
and i won't either
and after a while i won't like you anymore
and after a while we'll forget each other
and after a while you will be beautiful and alone inside of your coffin
and i’ll be cold and alone inside of my coffin

But you are on the same page as Cormac McCarthy.
Who by the way is the best writer to have ever lived.
im jealous of your review. i hope brian beatty reviews and talks shit about your poetry book and the portrait book and then makes mcsweeney's link to it.
we should talk about brian beatty more
i think i'll name my next book 'brian beatty'
Do you guys like Noah Cicero?
I have a new story by him on my blog.
You should check it out. I think it's some of his best work.
Don't sweat it Tao.
I hate you, but that doesn't change the fact that reviewers are full of shit and that the idea of one opinion standing in for many opinions is bogus.
