Benjamin Niespodziany : part four

When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?

There is a poem by John Maradik called “They Found the Python” that bewilders and flabbergasts and impresses me every single time. It's my favorite poem and I'm going to read it out loud right now and it's one you should read out loud every time you get a chance. It makes me teary-eyed sometimes and always it makes me smile. The ending! John Maradik is my favorite living poet without a debut collection. 

It's also the title poem for Maradik's mini-mini chapbook (three poems): http://www.factoryhollowpress.com/scram-press-books/they-found-the-python-john-maradik
