Self-Portrait as Boo Radley
Listen to Harrison Hamm read his poem:
When I was no longer welcome in church,
I was welcome to my solitude. To question religion
in a big empty house, haunted by bigger emptier
questions. Why, when I couldn’t parade my scars
questions. Why, when I couldn’t parade my scars
around Dollar General or the only Sonic Drive-In
my family ever loved, I’d hit the Mennonite bakery
my family ever loved, I’d hit the Mennonite bakery
