Customer Comments: Hello!! I recently moved to Baltimore from Porter Square and I'm missing a little bit of home. I've been going to the Cambridge location for ~ 10 years and Josh's recs were always a favorite. I read anything and everything. The obscure is good and welcome! Though on the weir front, I would stay away from either Renee Gladman or anything published by Coffee House Press since I've read a lot of their back catalogs. Hope Cambridge is treating you all well. <3

To Alyce, who does not know the times are interesting If, because I chose to fight, they take me from you I hope you never forgive me. Forgiveness comes from understanding, understanding too goddamn often a consequence of experience. If you experience the choice to fight my taken-ness will have been one of the million grains of failure in the pile of failure. (The pile of piles of failure.) (and if you forgive me still my ghost will be consoled that we raised you right while we raised the world wrong) If, because I chose to fight they take me from you I hope you never forgive me for choosing the world you could have over the time would we have
