 “If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only way I know it. Is there any other way?”

~ED

To Thomas Wentworth Higginson, c. 1870

Just read the first 30 pages. Great work as always. Your voice makes me feel a little bit sane.

I tried to read the texts, but I just couldn't. Your fingernail polish is chipped.

What kind of woman doesn't check her nail polish before taking photos? SMDH

Empiradol! I live in the Valley of the Empiradols! Hurray for Lao-Sue and her reality-hacking antidote.

I got the notion to copyright a poem disguised as a copyleft. Just me?

CXK, my comment is not a critique, it's a celebration of divine dark comedy. Reality is funny too. And you bet, as a person who only makes $800 a month with no other source of income or assistance, I have indeed used Amazon and Walmart to get things to simply survive that other people take for granted. I love Catlin. Thanks for sticking up for her acerbic astute poetic wisdom, and her well placed ironies. And no, I'm too poor, post pandemic for a car or a computer. I have the cheapest cellphone that works here in my frigid rustic abode.
