Published Poems, Press, and Practice Poems.
Poems on this page often move between draft and published. You’ll see a book cover when a poem is published and part of a print collection. When poems are removed, they go to my workshop with other draft poems to be posted on this site later, or it is in the workshop to be published in my next collection. Posting poems on this site helps me view them in a new light. Generally, poems move through significant revision (though folks who write poetry often never tell you as such) to reach their potential. In a way, it’s like a different music set list for my inspirational occasions.
