Such a good poem. Thank you. How do you know when it's ok to share these once they are published? Is it different for each publication? And are there some where you send us to the link v. others you print here? I'd love to understand that.
Thanks Emma! Great question. Most online publications seem fine with a poem being shared but I usually check with the editors to make sure. I wanted to use substack as a place to 'collect' poems I've published so I try to print them as well as sharing links. There are one or two 'print only' which I haven't put here. Do you share yours on social media? I'm also wondering about sharing unpublished material -- I know there's a bit of a debate about that.
Beautiful, a gem of a poem.
It had me at "cars whine painfully". Love--thank you for sharing your work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Illusory realities beget writers like you, superb work!
Love that last line - the reality and the illusion....which one???!!!
such a great piece!!!!
Thank you for reading it!
