I finally received my contributor’s copies of this gorgeous issue of Foothill Journal, Volume 12 — which includes my poem, “(Cento) I’m tired of understanding…” — presented by Claremont Graduate University in November 2022. I’m grateful to editors Lauren Davilla, Holly Eva Allen, Emily Schuck, and Stacey Park for their outstanding professionalism throughout the publication process.

A lovely piece that honors each contributing poet in creating a new piece with its own nuanced beauty. So glad to see this published. Well done, and congratulations!

Delightful (while confirming a bit of discomfort) – love the repetitions and puzzling – so familiar before I get my morning coffee and let the day’s calendar take command of my thoughts/actions.
And, of course, CONGRATULATIONS!

You are welcome. I have a “trod” poem, too, since Hopkins is one of my loves, but it’s not as ambitious as a cento!
