Wow, this is so raw. And I like the double meaning of the wafer tasting like flesh.

I’m not a poetry person - it seldom works for me - but this one gripped me by my throat and wouldn’t let go. I wish I felt this way about more poetry, but this one really worked for me.

Like you can feel how unreal the world would feel for someone whose child has bombed a clinic right?

Danm, that last line is metal as hell, I love it

Pretty metal, you’re right! I am enjoying these poetry anthologies I am reading lately, finding lots of new poets.

Which anthologies? We, too, would like to find lots of new poets.

I’m referring to The Best American Poetry series of books that get collected and published annually. The Best American publications, not just for poetry but short stories and essays and what all, are a Godsend. Just search your library for Best American and you’ll see a bunch pop up.

Awesome, thank you!
