Young Poets

Write as you will
In whatever style you like
Too much blood has run under the bridge
To go on believing
That only one road is right.

In poetry everything is permitted.

With only this condition of course,
You have to improve the blank page.

-Nicanor Parra, 1956

This unrelated, about a book you rated on Goodreads. I noticed you read one of Nnedi Okorafor's childrens' books and was wondering if you'd ever read Who Fears Death
