I’m with Mike Krahulik on this: Jerry Holkins is one of the best writers going. He has word magic of a very high calibre. And he’s going through some profound shit right now. I’m really sad that he’s faced with those circumstances. And yet, like a nicer, nerdier, more relatable edition of Bukowski, he takes all that ugly and makes a thing of beauty from it.

I’m glad he chose to share. And I hope the man is ok. He’s ok in my books.
