59. True story

True story: A teenager saw me with Matthea Harvey’s new book of poems as I sat with it in a café and asked if she could look at it. She was the scowly sort, angry tattoo on her shoulder, who I thought was going to ask me if I had a cigarette; not, offhand, the type who maybe cares much about modern American poetry.

I do, though, and if you care about modern American poetry you care about Matthea Harvey. / Daniel Handler, Los Angeles Times
