First Thing Published in 2009!

…is in a place I’ve never seen before on my Google searches called Wordletting.  Nifty name!  I was struck by the current issue they had at the time because no one, I mean like no one, publishes what may be considered ‘you-based poetry’ anymore.  It had to have some kind of a tilt or be [...]
