This is a stunner! I both love and hate that you don’t send emails. Although, I’ve noticed as of late a ton of Substacks are getting sent to my spam box, so I probably wouldn’t have seen this anyway. I’ll just keep tracking you down like a proper stalker. 🤣

Thank you Nancy!! I don't send emails because it isn't that important to be timely. It is a poem, not a press release. But don't worry about stalking, I post on every social media platform known to man, if you manage to avoid me, consider yourself lucky.

Poetries like embedding mines in the most subtle complex of ways that a leaves them unguarded Davis.... Poetry is a language and a religion, it's a culture too and you are doing great at it.

Thank you Ral! I try to go for variety, to embrace all cultural elements of poetry!

This subscriber is eating an orange and thinks everything you write expands the boundaries of poetry.

I appreciate you but my love of oranges makes me want to break boundaries and launch an invasion.

Thank you Jill! I've been reading an absurd about of Wallace Stevens recently, he has had an effect on this one.
