It is really a joy to know Andrew and find his book in a pile of free poetry that Innisfree laid in the park after they closed after the pandemic, then read the book months later, hearing the entire journal in Andrew’s cadence. Feeling the mountain wind from memory curl to your body then resist. Lovely moment.
