The Sealey Challenge, Day Twenty-Two: An Atlas of Lost Causes

 

I am really fortunate when it comes to being in writing groups with talented poets. Marjorie Stein is no exception. As I tweeted (heaven help me, I still can't believe I've been tweeting my reads every day this month), "I knew Marjorie was good but didn't realize she was that good. Riveting. Imagine Nelson's Bluets as a mystery/memoir. But with even more skillful language."

I'm fascinated by Marjorie's mind. But there's heart in these prose poems, too. I have so much to learn from her, and from the other amazing poets in my two critique groups.
