Great ending to this poem. Hopeful... thanks John Arthur & One Art America’s Favorite Playground by John Arthur oneartpoetry.com/2025/03/12/a...

An important read.

Delightful beginning to my writing week with an acceptance from my favourite Canadian online lit mag @pinholepoetry.bsky.social and another from a mag I have always admired @soflopojo.bsky.social Thanks, both of you, for taking a chance!

Rattlecast with Keetje Kuipers, get ready to buy this most amazing, tender, provocative & vulnerable (the way only poets can be when they write to implicate, not absolve themselves)-- collection. (Lonely Women Make Good Lovers) www.youtube.com/live/Q_ziEW0...

As promised. This. @joankwonglass.bsky.social www.passagesnorth.com/going-home-b...

Many more including @joankwonglass.bsky.social (whose poem I will post shortly, as it is available online) and moi! With one of the most ambitious pieces I have written so far (Almanac of Sorrows).

Who to follow? These writers! This mag!

Arc is always up to good stuff! Poet friends. What have you got?
