Hurrah! OPD has posted something exquisite! Wonders shall never cease! So how is it that you post something wonderful, and then the next day you post something worthless? I don't get it. Do you just roll dice or something?

'Visits and leaves' repeated is a mark of poetic genius. Form expressing content. Mark, and remember. Then understand poetry.

This is the kind of poem that needs to be spread far and wide or maybe it is the far and wide that needs this poem? Either way... I am sharing.

Breathe is a wonderful collection, by far Hicok's best. I've enjoyed his work for years, but Breathe is at another level, the best poetry I've read in years. Thanks for sharing this poem.

Hi Chuck, we’d love to consider publishing your review of it at OP if you write it :)
