I really appreciate it! This was the first of my writing for the Rumpus, although I've got more in works (I hope). It's wonderful to hear such nice feedback - I'm totally flattered. Thank Ryan!

I often forgo reading reviews, even of authors I adore (like Nick Flynn), simply because I expect the standard dry recounting of narrative and empty analysis of technique and style. I really enjoyed this one, Kailyn. A seamless welding of review and essay. I wish the NYTimes would take a cue from this. Wow.

Thumbs up from me. If an old ADD-rattled coot like me can pick it up and read it cover to cover, its worth $24.95. I got a copy. Thumbs up from me.

(Pete, I got the impression the professor mentioned above is actually quite old. If he weren't, wouldn't he have sent the book to Kailyn electronically?)

For the record, though, when Kailyn says "Old professor" I think she's really just saying that this person is not her professor any longer, not that he's actually that old.
