About The Thing Lost by Joshua Alan Sturgill
Listen to Jesse Keith Butler read his award-winning poem.
Growing Comfort of Dress: My opinions on the subject of comfort are well known; I don’t believe in it as a panacea for human woes; I don’t believe that material goods in themselves will make any man happy; I do believe that the divine discomfort of adventure is a sovran medicine for all who can proscribe it to themselves. But note the phrase, “the divine discomfort of adventure.” The divinity that resides in desperate enterprises and explorations of the unknown is altogether wanting to the process of dressing for dinner.
