Been excited to announce this for awhile: my poem, Carry Along Home, has been published in Volume 2 of Suspended Magazine. I like the entire premise behind Suspended Magazine:

“Suspended is meant for the stories that are complete, yet seem unfinished. The endings hang and dangle off the final page, like a pendulum, seeking answers.”

Is Carry Along Home unfinished? One of the criticisms of my poetry found in some of the many, many (many) rejections is that they could go on longer, than they are, sometimes, perhaps in search of a conclusion. I’m hardly the expert, so maybe that is true. But given that this poem is, in large part, about young people finding a home, as well as my own kids who are still very much writing their own stories (and, hey, maybe poems) — sure, perhaps it is yet unfinished work.wn kids who are still very much writing their own stories — and, maybe, poems — sure, perhaps it is yet unfinished work.

My thanks to Jadae Sweezer, Editor-in-Chief, and the Suspended Magazine team for accepting my poem and publishing it. Grateful for the opportunity.

Be sure to support independent publications and buy your copy of Suspended Magazine here. And, as always, thanks for reading. Wouldn’t be any of this without you.
