Thanks Stephanie. I made also a short plug for your poems this week today on Poetry on Tape. I am not sure the time reference, so I will summarize it for you. But we talking about Canada's medical-aid-in-dying policy and in the chat the topic came up about caring for elders. So in this context, I was mentioning your poem and your reaction about ageism. I was a bit overcome with the war poetry this week but I just wanted you to know I saw that poem and reaction and it has stuck with me.
Love the opening image. Inspiring work Josh!
Thanks, Sam!
The Angel of Death roaming earth. This is a forceful rendition, Josh.
Poetry perhaps keeps him at bay, or invites him in, I am not sure sometimes. But I am hoping for the first one.
This is so powerful. The images are stunning. It is emotionally jarring with an undercurrent of despair.

Thanks Josh. I feel very strongly about that. It is a part of many of our lives that we don't want to look at.
This phrase is fantastic, Josh:
A murder of missiles flies
past crooning crows on dead wood.
In a time when artists are called upon to witness and record, you're penning relevant, important viewpoints. Keep going!
Thank you, Kim! Very much appreciate that.
A murder of missiles - Love it
3rd stanza hits hard
Thanks, Gerald.
