      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Amazing work! Hilborn describes the indescribabe. This is poetry at its most distilled. Thank you, Neil, for sharing!
    • 5/5
      an amazing collection of poetry - felt like I'd been punched in the solar plexus a few times throughout less than one hundred pages.
    • 5/5
      Neil Hilborn is such an amazing poet. His writing is a manic episode of joy and misery and talking and I love getting swept away in it, maybe because it isn't my feelings, even though I feel them anyway (I have BPD, which is bi-polar's slutty sister). His poetry is what really introduced me to the Button Poets, and he's still my absolute favorite.
    • 5/5
      I love the metaphors in here.
      Especially the one about erasing people like bad lines of poetry, like your a big red pen.
      That was great word play. ??
