Damn. This one hits hard. Beautifully written while its topic made me stop dead in my tracks.

i hope i’m improving with every poem. they come out so fast it’s hard to judge whether they should be read by others or not. i’m so happy it made you feel!

FWIW, I read every single one and I find value in each one. Not just saying that, either. Poetry is NOT a thing I have ever read. Like at all. But whenever I see one of your emails in my inbox I'm stoked to open it. I think I've always viewed poetry as this thing I'd never get or understand, but you not only write about topics that I care about, you make them accessible yet still sophisticated. It's hard to explain, but you've basically converted a non-poetry person into someone who reads poems multiple times a week now. I really appreciate your work 🙏
