One of my poems appears in the current edition of Spank the Carp. Check it out!
The first draft of Canyon was written in the Durham Public Library during a session of the Poetry Factory lead by JeanMarie when she had us list various geographical features then write about one of them. It was also JeanMarie who suggested I turn it into a shape poem and now it’s published. Thanks, JM!
I very much enjoyed reading this and the back story of how this poetry came to be.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Kudos and applause to you! And thanks for the shout-out. It takes a village (Living Poetry on Meetup.com).
Indeed. Canyon went through at a couple of revision workshops too.
It’s beautiful.
I’m glad you like it. Thanks!
One of your best, I’d say.
Thanks! I usually don’t write “shape” poems or even particularly enjoy them.
