Lovely article, lovely poem. For those of you who write from the heart simply because writing and sharing help us feel, sort out and heal… I hope you know that you do not need to be published, nor must you commodify your work. Do you, your way. I spent years being published and now only send work when requested, I love the feeling of just writing for my groups and my self again like I did in the 80s and 90s versus my getting published heydays of the 2000s and 2010s. Thanks for sharing your process Ash. Your generosity is appreciated.

He's my absolute favorite poet of the time, and a dear, dear friend, and it wouldn't have been a poetry month celebration without him ... So glad he agreed to do this write-up...😁
