New Poem in Shot Glass Journal

My deep thanks to the editors at Shot Glass Journal for publishing my poem Some Days in Issue #38.

“Shot Glass Journal is an on-line poetry journal devoted to short poetry. Where other poetry journals publish poems of various lengths and forms, Shot Glass focuses on both free verse and form poetry of 16 lines or less. Shot Glass Journal believes in fostering emerging talent as well as publishing well established poets. Why only short poetry? It is far more difficult to capture a message in fewer words and still have an effect on a reader. Shot Glass is dedicated to those poets who have much to say in the fewest words possible. As William Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, ‘…brevity is the soul of wit…'”

  1. Oh, Jean! Mary Oliver is smiling at you. This exquisite poem started my day at 5am as I sipped my first coffee and I kept returning to it, rereading the last 3 lines in particular. Brava! And thank you for the introduction to Shot Glass. I’m eager to learn more and read about Shot Glass. Xoxo
