My poem at Toucan - Thanks Liz and Laura!

This is a home run, MaryAnne. Excellent work.
The poem has an audience beyond just poets although poets, even the most trained and discriminating, will fall in with its rhythm. It seems like a poem that could be etched on a broadside as well as xeroxed as a recovery handout, and that way help someone, more than one.
I love this poem, MaryAnne, one of my favorite things I have read by you thus far. Astounding work! Congratulations!
There is a chanting quality here which creates a groove allowing the litany—honest and insistent, rhythmic and moving
Thanks for the kind and thoughtful words.
