I swear Nick and I have the same childhood memories. Take for example "Clifford Street" change it one street over to "Princeton Street" and I'm right there back in my youth. I pine for my adolescent summers.

There are quite a few hidden gems in this, but a favorite will always be "Ignis Fatuus." That last couplet is a chef's kiss.

And am I crazy or were there aliens thrown in there as well?

Nonetheless, give LeBlanc a read. He's incredibly relatable, thoughtful, and just hits home every time.

Nick's ability to tell stories through each poem is truly special and endearing. I felt like I was going back through some of my own childhood memories as the words unspooled into my consciousness. I always appreciate raw, unbridled honesty in writing, and this is a great example of that. I can't wait to see what writing he gifts the world in the future.
