Starship Sofa review of “Assam & Darjeeling”

• "Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind. It is the outlet for people to say in public what is known in private." -- Alan Ginsberg
• "There is a place to stand / where you can see so many lights / you forget you are one of them." -- Naomi Shihab Nye
• "Death steals everything except our stories." -- Jim Harrison
• "Art is our chief means of breaking bread with the dead" — W.H. Auden
