TRUST IN BEAUTY

Sometimes, you read an entire book and it is one sentence that makes the entire book. Not that I’m saying the other contents in Jim Dine’s DIARY OF A NON-DEFLECTOR: SELECTED POEMS are not worthwhile reading. But for me, reading just this one line from its first poem made the whole book engagement more than worthwhile — I adore this line from its title poem, this truth:

“My trust in you, Beauty, is real.”
