Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I met my wife, Jen, at work. We would often make out on the promenade outside of her office, and her phone would drop out of her pocket mid-kiss. She was mortified. #2 A pseudonym is a name that you use to publish your work that is different from your real name. Jen’s pseudonym is Allen Ginsberg, but she has never shared it with family or friends, which is maddening for me. #3 I love my marriage. And I’m not saying it’s perfect. I think all marriages have an undercurrent of tension at all times because you have two people experiencing the same events at the same time, and then you have two completely different memories of the same event. #4 I’m married to the Clark Kent of poetry, who has saved my best friend’s life and for many years shared with me the solidarity that we would never have children. I didn’t want to lose that.
