Hi Rachel (I almost typed Raquel for some reason) Thanks so much for the invite, would love to be there but must send my shadow self instead. He loves this kind of thing. And thanks for publishing my poems. Here's one that came today out of the blue, how a propos:
ReplyDeleteAfterlife Valentine
Eventually death leads back to love
it has no place else to go
since love is all projection
and reflection death keeps
coming back for you
in the form of bodies
not your own to love
you love death don’t you
because death loves you
after the first death
there is a revision
no literalists allowed
in the afterlife
and after a certain
point you get it
or you don’t.
Peter, I love the poem! And you can call me Raquel anytime. Some of the people who met me in Spanish class still call me that. I do prefer Raquelita though, since I am quite petite. I will introduce your shadow self to my friends. We love all kinds :)
ReplyDeleteGlorious cover and fun bios... looking forward to the Anthology here in wintry Ontario!
ReplyDeleteLong live Poetry... and the Poet!
Congrats, Rachel... et al!
