I like books

I'm reading Nick Flynn's memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City and it is quite good. I've google some of his other poetry and and I am pleasantly surprised. It is pretty intense stuff, seems like a lot of it is about his mom committing suicide and his drug addiction. I am a sucker for personal poetry (cuz I'm nosey) but at the same time I'd like to see him tackle some different topics. I probably haven't read enough of him yet. As I write this I just discovered hat he wrote a whole book of poems about a blind French bee keeper who lived in the 18th century. Kudos to you Nick.
