My Brother’s Book, Maurice Sendak, 2013

An exquisite pairing of surreal poetry with surreal watercolors.
Sendak’s haunting elegy for his brother.

The final book of a Master’s career.
I haven’t experienced loss to fully understand this book.

I’ll comprehend this book one day, life doesn’t let one escape so easily.
And if you exit unscathed, then others must bear the pain.

So I hope to grasp this book one day.
But let it be long away.
