that you have tried to die, again,
here it is,
i think it is bout how life goes on regardless of circumstances. To me, this is a very strong poem fraught …I have nothing to say except that I think when the IBPC needs a "decision" it should be not be through a random decision maker. There are too many ties and (where is bri?) too often good poems are not put through. Not sure how to correct that, but m…I just blocked someone talking about his 2nd amendment rights and Trump being the real president.
Scary times.

Grows on me with each read, even the title.

You guys may not believe me when I say this? FOR ME, the prize was always getting voted in. I so believe in this contest for all it has done for me and the great judges (san moi) they have gotten. I never do well in the yearly contests, I have had v…Do you think I should change the title to Notorious?
I read this to a friend who I don't think GOT it, with Ginsberg how could you not?
Notorious is a better title, but what if the judge is someone not English as first language?
WOW I love these lesbos poems. LOVE it Chris.

They will gather feathers for my flight
off the abyss. I studied letters
from the maid of Icarus—we know
how that recklessness ended.
