After reading Luis's deceptively simple poem, I dashed out to buy the collection. I did think of W.C. Williams when I read this poem -- the essential nature of "things," the essence in things. Thank you for sharing the full story around the poem.

Can I swallow/ memorize this entire post for immediate recall whenever I want/need? So beautiful...can't wait to get Luis' book.

The story of you and Luis falling in love over poetry is one of the most romantic things I have ever read in my life. Thank you for sharing it, and all the best to you.
