- Thank you @versedaily.bsky.social for featuring my poem “Ode to America” first published by @glasspoetry.bsky.social - I first wrote it in 2021 and sometimes wondered later if it was too angry. But it’s a diagnosis. Now we have to make things better by moving toward the real dream of a collective.
