I unfortunately never got my hands on Matthew’s soup photos in infrared…
I’m honored and proud that my poems “Infrared” and “Terminal”* are represented among the pages of the fantastic inaugural edition of Spoonie Press Literary Journal! Please take some time to peruse the user-friendly website, and consider purchasing a copy of the gorgeous print edition.
I’m grateful to editor Sara Watkins for including my work in the scope of her visionary, inspiring, gorgeous project. Congratulations to all the contributors whose combined efforts have resulted in this truly special collection of literature and art.

Congratulations on the publication of your two poems! I just read them. I appreciate being given a glimpse into an experience of the world so very different from my own.

Gods, these are both so good – congratulations! As a spoonie myself I’m always surprised by that moment when a poem I’ve half-feared reading because it’s likely too close to the bone lands ends up warming me to the marrow.

Oh, thank you for sending your 🌞 my way!
There’s nothing more rewarding for me than getting to know that a little piece of my soul has been received as the gift it was meant to be! 😊

Congratulations – both poems intrigue as I read myself (& my son) into the scenarios … I especially resonate with:
What profit is to be / won of our climbing— // of so much inching along / the highest branches until //
they can no longer bear / our weight—
Thank goodness IBM nudged me into early retirement before I crashed down on my own skull from over-assuming all manner of nonrealities. Hindsight of my last 10 years there? Definitely “squirrely”!
[Yesterday marked 20 years grounded – 19.5 years since meeting my stabilizer.]

I think you “get” Terminal better than I did when I first wrote it! I’m still learning what my original crash & burn from almost 30 years ago was all about…
