Poetry: Poems Accepted by Open: Journal of Arts & Letters
Thank you to Open: Journal of Arts & Letters (O:JA&L) for selecting my poems "wait" and "bullet" for publication. These poems contrast each other in an interesting way. the poem "wait" has been a long time coming. My first draft was registered on December 2, 2023 9:24 AM. and had gone through 35 versions. "bullet" on the other hand was started on March 9, 2025 10:07 PM and went through 20 versions. What does that tell me? Probably that some poems take a while? Some come quicker. All of them require a lot of editing.
