Caliente published at Spillwords

Posted on 2023-05-23 by Bartholomew Barker

I am very proud to announce that one of this year’s poems-a-day was just published over at Spillwords. I wrote Caliente on April 4th, just seven weeks ago. It went through a workshop two weeks later and, after minor revisions, I submitted it for publication.

Please head over to Spillwords and click the little red heart button to give her some love.

My thanks to the Spillwords crew for their continued support.

    Congrats, Bartholomew! I loved the line breaks for this poem; they read as though they were carefully plotted, and the ending is superb!
