2025: weird world out there with familiar fashions, dolphin religions, and everyone pursuing every dream they've ever had with their whole soul and finding the results meager and awash in a sea of content. all that to say: we live! but hardly, slowly, and measured in decades.
MWoD, the little press you may or may not have heard of and purchased poetry from, is still kickin', but we're busy, and social media is a pain. So for your poetry fix, check out this collection by friend o the press Danny D Ford, "What's a Monday Called: yellow-king-press.com/books

New review for Cradle and Spoon:
"There isn’t a dewy damsel in a red cloak to be found as the subject of a love-sick stanza here. Rather, the characters in the poems are 'brittle with scurvy-starved desire', with 'skin…worn thin, chapped/and jaundice-to peel, poke'. "
