I was 15 and stoned and dancing on the floor of the Mtl forum, getting mixed up in a blissed out crowd. It was for sure amazing. Like a moment from someone else's life.

To have @robmclennan.bsky.social eyes on one's work is to feel a part of the poetry landscape in a welcome way. There's something very distilled and calming about this response to my book that i appreciate. Thank you, rob!
