This series features first drafts of poems found in my notebooks and journals that go back to the 1980s. Each poem in this series will be accompanied by some notes—memoir, context, craft, etc. As you read, bear in mind that the text is a largely unedited draft lifted right out of a notebook—This series is more about process than perfection. Enjoy! Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published Before you say a word, I am yours. Don't ruin it— Take without asking.
