Thank you ❤️ I had hoped to share it in better circumstances.. but the sky is but a mirror to the land. Beautiful new issue from POETRY magazine edited by Charif Shanahan. Thankful for the great company and hard work that made it possible.

Baffling. The Poetry Archive is an excellent resource for, well, anyone, but teachers especially, and is—crucially—free to access.

Consider sharing, and check out their site to see how you can support👇
