Very potent... Might've been the one that's most moved me of your anti-war poems. Reminded me a bit of the ghost of you, The chemical romance, that song also hits me hard...
I am rereading this with all your other work. And I feel like you are bringing a three-point perspective that wasn't available to poets in time immemorial. Which, in poetry, could only be 70 years ago, lmao. But, you're a veteran and understand this stuff on a base level. You're an artist, writing with the vigor, complexity, and grace as Bly, Wright, and others. Plus, we exist in the modern world; we're cyborgs connected to technology, and the weight of information is now that we are conscious of the control system. You are functioning on all three levels, and when it all comes together at a deeper level, after all this practice, I will be honored to see the vast waves you make, brother.
Thanks Ian. That's pretty high praise, I can only inspire to live up to it :) Really appreciate the support and motivation you are _constantly_ putting out into the world for so many.

Oh wow yeah that's a powerful song. Appreciate that.
Did you watch it along the music video? check it out if didn’t already, powerful
Oh damn yeah, I see what you mean. Wow.
Hits hard
Chills running down my spine after reading this one.... Absolutely incredible!
Thank you. Appreciate you reading and leaving a kind note.
Of course! Looking forward to more of your work✌️
“first day of school —
fashionable clothes,
awkwardly worn.”
This part really got me.
No autobiographical comments there 😅
Getting some film developed as we speak
Congrats! I shoot mainly on instant film, haven't made a jump to 35mm yet.
Beautiful!
Thanks 😊
