Reading this too now.

"Thus the poet is a tragic figure. The poem is always a record of failure."

I forgot to post our wonderful fall issue @westchesterreview.bsky.social

Chock-full of well crafted work! I hope you'll give it a read!

Fall 2025 Issue is live -- sad, dystopian, ominous to fit the times we're in, but also elegiac, inspiring. Against the backdrop of cover art: Árón Ó Maolagáin, The Punk in me is Dead

May your punk endure!

Enjoy: www.westchesterreview.com

My poem, The Physics of Grief, An Abstract”, just published in the recent issue of MockingHeart Review:

mockingheartreview.com/volume-10-is...

#poetry
The Physics of Grief, an Abstract The speaker is old. The speaker's dog is also old. On any given day, between them, they have three good knees. Each morning, together, they face the problem of the stairs. The speaker has a penchant for the melancholy; the dog, for cheddar cheese. The speaker proposes a proportional relationship between gravity and grief, although no such formula exists. The speaker has lost. Is lost. The dog, after a bath and a good brushing, lies in the sun, releasing her summer coat to the month of October. The speaker is struggling to understand the point of it all. The dog, stretched out beneath the fluttering swirl of the swamp maple's falling yellow stars, breathes in, breathes out.
