The poem needs to sit for a moment. needs to widen and leaven, as threads of story and image find each other in the proving drawer. For now, tho, it’s good enough. I can let you see it.
Dearest Amy, what a blessing you are over and over. I saved your post for my weekly quiet day and they are always a blessing today. I had decided that for lent I am going to give up reading anything who’s headline contains the words Trump or musk. And then I came upon this piece of your poem: life is hard enough already. Why place yourself into the struggle? Do we really need the sandpaper scraping against the skin? Do we really need to place ourselves like grains of hard corn between the grinding stone of the mill? You gave beautiful articulation to my thoughts thank you as always
Love the small, how the large is small in relation to the next higher frequency of reality, and how the small becomes large with undivided attention. You go, girl! Great work.
This is so beautiful, Amy. I mean truly beautiful. I don't care how you organize it all, or how many different places you feel like you need to store it, just keep putting it all out there please. Let it loose in the world to expand into all the corners that need it most.
Hello, friend. I found this comment again this morning - four months after you left it. I found it while feeling discouraged. I decided to print some pieces of writing that I want to save. Thank you for writing it. It meant even more to me today.
I really love your writing, Amy--all of it! Don't hesitate to get in touch if you're interested in considering publication with my Green Fire Press--a hybrid press for "books that make the world better." As your work in the world certainly does! Cheering you on, Jennifer
