#25 marked our first poetry book of 2009.
It’s easy to see why people call Richard Brautigan a genre in himself. The Pill versus the Springhill Mine Disaster is a collection of 98 of his poems. The language is simple, and every now and then profound. Can’t say I loved them all, though a few really buttered my waffles.
Think I’ll also read In Watermelon Sugar, before the year is over.
Sorry this post is so short. I’m trying to catch up on some other things in this Brooksville, Florida coffee shop. It’s also early. The table I’m currently sitting at was once my makeshift office. My, how life has changed.

In Watermelon Sugar is an outstanding book.
Enjoy.
