Beautifully done. Could read
Posted on Mon, 07 Sep 2015
Beautifully done. Could read a book of your poetry. It's such a lightly handled piece for the displacement and loss inside.

This is lovely - contemplation and self analysis at the cemetery. The internal struggle interrupts half way through and pushes the picturesque poem out of the way, just as anxiety often does. I hope you post more often.

Posted on Fri, 04 Sep 2015
It's a vaccum, the hospital, an exclusion that even seems to slow thought down. There's a life inside there that you don't give a second thought unless you're admitted and you can't help noticing finer details, going back to the smaller world you...

Ed, this is really absorbing. I love the 'phone conversation and the description is quick, moves you along with crisp detail. May I make a suggestion - would it work if you started with 'Number 47 was suffering. The paint had peeled..' It drops...

Tina, this is so fuzzy and gorgeous, full of liberating horsey language and a daughter's triumph. Sometimes a poem features lots of words that appeal to the senses and this is one of them.Reminds me of the 'Wild horses I wanna be like you..' song...

The expectation of some
Posted on Wed, 26 Aug 2015
The expectation of some clarity and cause is so sharply delivered in this, it's breathtaking when no news comes after such intolerable intrusion. A staggering piece. Technically, I think your font changes and inner voice are very effective,...

Posted on Fri, 07 Aug 2015
I adore this piece, Ed. it is such a realistic drift - related to it and reminded me of aspects of sleep paralysis, too. The seemingly random and eclectic imagery is so characteristic of falling to sleep for me and bolstered beautifully by the...
