Find and share the perfect poems. People going through  hard times don’t listen  to songs about peoplegoing through hard times, says my son. Debt, addiction,  chronic bad luck, unemployment—I’m with you, I say. The only  exception is heartbreak; when you’re deep in it you just want a late-night DJ to spin your pain. The car  radio is playing Jason Isbell  through Wyoming, part of it in Yellowstone National Park, home to 500 of the world’s 900 geysers.
