"I'd visited enough Poetry to know that it's an emotionally draining place and on a completely different level. Whereas story is processed in the mind in a straightforward manner, poetry bypasses rational thought and goes straight to the limbic system and lights it up like a brushfire. It's the crack cocaine of the literary world."

He's such a funny and entertaining writer. It's easy to forget the how insightful he can be, until I read passages like that, and then I'm fully reminded of the crazy depth the man's capable of.

I'm glad you liked it, Mel. :D
