Got a bit of recognition from Geneva Writer's Group, shortlisted for a poetry prize. See the winners - I can personally recommend the work of Liz Boquet - who got 3rd place : genevawritersgroup.wildapricot.org/Literary-Pri...

I guess it's almost cliché to talk about prescient writers, things that seem to have been written for our moment; but one could do worse than read "The Ballade of the Poverties" by Adrienne Rich, if you're looking for that synchronicity buzz.

RIP Nikki Giovanni: "Reflections on April 4, 1968", a response to MLK's death, was the first poem I ever performed to impact people, spring, freshman year of h.s., 1983. It's first line, as she wrote it: What can I, a poor Black woman, do to destroy America... Powerful, cathartic, indelible

Thank you for including me!

www.gashmiusmagazine.com/from-the-gar... I love it when poetry makes me want to go re-read poems that are familiar AND write my own. Dick Westheimer goes midrash and I'm going to re-read "The Creation" by James Weldon Johnson.

This is by the first composer I ever met, I was about 7 ror 8 at the time. So was he, he was composing then too. 50 years later, David has made a lot of music...Here's some of his latest. Oh, yeah it has the wackiest visual possible. No loss of humor over the years : )

I just made a starter pack called Poets I Want to Grow Up to Be. Can anyone explain to me what I have achieved by doing this?

Significant poets I have found in #theflutterverse: @dseuss.bsky.social @cphillipspoet.bsky.social @janehuffman.bsky.social Who else is here poet-wise?

Wondering about how to connect with more poets in this new flutterscape (butterflies flutter, why not?) Anyhow, I had to hear from a third party that Diane Seuss is here...Searching poetry didn't help me ???

Modern Poetry is out today in paperback. 💋

And here's an un-failed poem: www.picciolettabarca.com/posts/charac...

How does one draw in views here in this new flutterscape? Flutterverse? Never used Twitter or its Muskified demon twin. Are there hashtags here? Primary interest: Poetry, writing it and publishing it.

This is a failed poem turned into an essay...Btw, this is a terrific online lit journal, and not only b/c they have two of my writings 😜
