Mike Young—
Okay, so Derrick Rose will maybe never again play basketball like such a firefly, but that doesn’t mean you should stop believing in the triumph of the canny and soulful: for example, friend of the GIANT Heather Christle has won The Believer‘s 2011 Poetry Award for her book The Trees The Trees. Congratulations, Heather!
Oh geez, the last thing I expected was salt in my sports-loving wounds on HTMLgiant. Thank you, Mike Young, for precisely nothing at all!
I am reading this book for the first time. I am liking this book.
Heather’s book will make you okay, Matt, I swear it’s true. It will even do it without making you Okay Matt, a more meh version of yourself, which is what most books do to people.
Very well deserved.
Yeah, that book is dope.
Huzzah!
I want to hear that tarmac poem.
Don’t go dissing on the Spurs, Mike Young.
I’m just worried about D-Rose, ya know? I feel the sports-fan equivalent of smote.
