Oh that line, 'like all the others'. Thank you for introducing me to this beautiful, heartbreaking poem, Ben. 🙏

I’m in LA. I take it you’re in Australia? Melbourne? Sydney?

I'm actually in the UK, but spent many years in Sydney (and Tassie) and have a book coming out there in February.

I did a Google Search on Suji. Apparently she married a Brit and lives in London! So maybe you will have a chance to meet her someday.
Is your book poetry? Fiction? Nonfiction?

You’re welcome! I met Suji shortly after she published her first book, Notes From The Divided Country. I think she was doing something theatrical after that…maybe writing a libretto?
