Will you fall in love with this poem? I did. – The New York Times

The rhymes and near rhymes make a jagged scheme that is all the more beguiling for its asymmetry. When you read the poem aloud, you hear its jumpy, syncopated rhythm. It resolves into a tidy, clever pair of end-rhymed lines, a mic drop proclaiming the supremacy of poetry over grubby, fact-based scholarship. Maybe he smelled, but the dude could write. And so can Diane Seuss.
