A lovely bit of warmth in a cold time to see COACHELLA ELEGY included in this poets.org Featured Fall Books list along with fellow @triohousepress.bsky.social poet @susanlleary.bsky.social and so many poets I admire. And if we’re just meeting on here, glad to be connected.

This is an essay on my poem "Ballad," Keats's notion of Negative Capability, and Lorca's Duende, with a prompt and a link to the original poem. I'm happy to share it with you.
