happiness
marriage
a good life

snatched
from our shelter
our safe house of hearts

a wind whipped street
lifes cruel hard road

his story shines even as it darkens
his characters sing even as they're crying
unnamed
unknowing

and finally
understanding

quite simply the novel of the year

undeniably

GREAT
