NEW POEM #207: "The Aching Heel Eyed Righteous" by Josh Gaydos (@jgwrites22.bsky.social)

"Knowing the ache in her chest won’t wholly heal
the mother instead watches spokes spin the cul de sac,
her children laugh out the airy road, pedaling snowmelt "

The end of "Transgressions" by Jack Gilbert, on this chilly morning in Michigan: "Above all, his greed. Greed of time, of being. This world, the pine woods stretching all brown or bare on either side of the railroad tracks in the winter twilight. Him feeling the cold, sinfully unshriven."

From Suchitra Mattai’s exhibit at NWMA. Whole show was helpful in showing what art can redefine.

Looking for poets, poems, and so on? Here's a place to start. No promises that it includes everyone but I tried to get a lot of y'all in here. Some room to add a few more as people show up. go.bsky.app/5oLR4YJ

Happy National Poetry Month!

I just realized my manuscript was LISTED as a semi-finalist at Sundress last year. I read the letter with joy but am just now seeing it is public.

The past two months have been focused on linebreaks and shipping out for another round of contests.

Poetry beach, blue sky. Hopefully this month I can pick up some sea glass and not look at one of my watches and compulsively check email.

Which of your fave journals & indie presses have made their way over to the other side? Boost them here?
The amount of work to rebuilt platforms and reach listeners, readers, writers—it is so much. What a burden. What a senseless burden.
