Blissfully happy on antidepressants. “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind smile”. Sincere and empathetic. “Soup-bowl haircut. An unzipped parka that he never takes off. Underneath he’s wearing a T-shirt featuring a kitten playing keyboards in outer space. Jonah’s a recovering addict who is so saturated with meds that he speaks as though his voice is tunneling through sludge. He’s the best poet in the Program by far. Also the friendliest, the most generous with cigarettes. I don’t quite know why he’s so reviled by his fellow poets… but he doesn’t care. He appears to be more or less content to remain adrift and immune in his poetry cloud.”
