“If You Cry Hard Enough, Any Grief Can Be the End of the World.”
This was my introduction to Jones’ poetry and I am not in any way shape or form qualified to make interpretations or analyses, but I will say, with a laymen’s understanding of poetry, I found this truly moving. It made me want to read his memoir as well.
One part that I read over and over was:
“I’ve hurt many people but it’s the unintended wounds I claim now as children. They stand beside my bed in the dark each night, a row of injuries asking me to wake up because they can’t sleep.”
