This is a photo of a poem that won Honorable Mention in Passager’s 2025 Poetry Contest. I was only able to receive a digital copy of the issue for the moment but the print copy is available to purchase for US residents. I’m so pleased this poem finally made its way into the world! Here’s to “being here now” so to speak!
One of my edgier poems is now live at “Kissing Dynamite”. You can read ZOO here
Awesome art featuring awesome poems, see the main page here. Many thanks to editors Christine Taylor and Jason Bates for believing in my poem!
To anyone commenting on my poem, please know I will respond as soon as I am able – but I will soon be out of cellphone and internet range, enjoying the Pacific Northwest waterways at their best – wild, remote, whatever news delivered daily to the shore we find ourselves at.
