Poetry proves again and again that any single overall theory of anything doesn't work. Poetry is always the cat concert under the window of the room in which the official version of reality is being written.

POEM 380: "Figment" by Daniel Cartwright-Chaouki
"yesterday is
nothing now, it is too far away,
your tongue is wrapped
around the ruined words,
you can taste the plastic
tang, the newness in the air"

I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet.

The editors at Pinhole Poetry wrote this lovely description of Sky In Some Mosaic. I think it really captures the feel of the book. If this sounds interesting to you, it's available for preorder at the link in my bio.

Most of us don’t read or write poetry for pleasure or instruction, but to be changed, healed, charged.

POEM 378: "Twa Corbies" by Kyla Houbolt
"Two crows diverged
whose flights were tracked
in a yellow wood
by crow the third
who watched the horse
that lay quite still."
