Whoa! Have you ever heard of a Canadian singer/songwriter/guitarist named Bruce Cockburn (pronounced CO-BURN)? He is not mega-famous, but he's been around for more than thirty years and has a devoted following. He is intense and caring, like I take you to be from your poems, and he occasionally writes songs in which he "sings" in a spoken word style over his guitar picking... Now, obviously he has his style and you have yours, and you are female whereas he is a man, but your work just conjures up images of his in my mind... Your poems, your use of words, they summon feelings and the SOUNDS of feelings, the musical scores that reflect and give voice to those intense emotions inside of us.
I don't know if any of this is making sense, but this is the reaction I have to your work, and it is meant as a high compliment. Please share more poems if you have them!
