Poet and grandpa. It’s taken too many years for me to finally say that out loud. (Not the part about being a grandpa.) Living in Wisconsin.
Honored to have a handful of my poems appear on the Lothlorien Poetry Journal blog. Thanks, Strider! @lothlorienpoetryj.bsky.social @stridermarcusjones.bsky.social

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

So worth reading!
‘The men and women who attempted to transform Spain in 1936, to elevate its people from grinding, desperate poverty, to reimagine the human condition, were led to the pit by people whose heads were filled with hateful nonsense by the Charlie Kirks of their time.’

It wasn’t scheduled open until 2026. These workers weren’t taking jobs; they were building the factory that would create them.
