Friends, I have not one but three poems published in the newest issue of @thefourthriver. Here’s one that mentions the beautiful turquoise house I lived in while in Roanoke, VA. Please get yourself a copy if you’re able, and if not, send me a text, and I’ll take photos for you 💚

I love the judicious use of an exclamation point...
"Inside the bud, a new universe, squirms to open! O, here
the silent vapor of the primordial ocean wets the petals."
--From "The Flower's Grand Opening" original poem by Cho Ji Hoon and translated by Sekyo Nam Haines, Tributaries

Missed this somehow, when they tweeted...thanks @thefourthriver!
"They
will tell you when they can. But
is my house—
This fire moving 6000 acres per hour.
Outside Boulder, neighbors spotting
their home in flames, front page. Their wait
for news over."

I keep rereading this one today. It’s true… poetry is medicine.

I think how I've grown the most as a poet is I read so much. And I go for walks. I walk through the neighborhoods along Lake Erie. I listen. I spend an entire day with one poem, like knowing one's own block. Poetry is the art of close reading, and going for walks.

What's the point of gun drills in elementary school if the shooter grows up knowing where to find the children hiding and the cops are too afraid to follow the shooters into the schools they're attacking?
