Tess Jolly is an amazing poet whose work I devour, not moving from my reading place until I’m breathlessly done, then I read and reread, slowly, painfully, heart in mouth, for years. For always.
I love that the father checks on his son, sees how he can help but doesn't criticize him for not making the guys tight enough. It's such a loving and tender and quiet moment of caring, and enabling growth, separation.

I didn't know this poet's work so am grateful for this account. I'll look out for her. Thank you!
