Congrats to Bill and BFR.
Thank you, Sam and Michelle! I'm honored to be in your pages.
Fabled, fabulous. Are these related etymologically? Yes, looked it up, fabulosus (L.) from fabula. Fabula from fama and fari (all L.), to speak to tell. Love these poems, this feature with commentary.
The idea of poetry as uniting an abstraction with something concrete did it for me. That's what I think when I write. My favorite out of this bunch was easily "The Clod and the Pebble". Diverse group of poems that shows a writer who challenges himself constantly--not far off of Sam's approach (even Sam's work differs both in themes and musically).
Thanks you, Amanda, Ann, and Gary, for your kind comments.
