I grew quite frightened as your story unfolded, familiar with that sense of desolation and despair that leads to nowhere. To be lost, feeling aimless and hopeless, is not a place where many of us want to be, but in your "knowingness" there was a part of you that persevered because deep inside you, you knew. There would be "salvation" in your journey for the simple reason that you were TAKING it in the first place. I believe in karma and I have known since meeting you, that you have special karma and that you will always attract love. You are a very talented communicator, whether in writing of while speaking, and have been blessed by this gift. Thank you for sharing it with us and enlightening our journey.

Laurie Hi Megan,

I like “Summerland’s” unflinching gaze at small-town life, particularly the urine-stained bandshell and what goes on there.

It made me laugh, but also I liked the end-stopped lines. They seem perfect for a poem that is all about making definitive statements. Laurie Hi Shannon,

I really liked your poem, “My Brother.” It made me laugh, but also I liked the end-stopped lines. They seem perfect for a poem that is all about making definitive statements.

Meaty part of the story, of course, was the revelation of Darren's stoic character. Well done, Chad!-) The words are cooked just as nicely as your back must have been climbing that punishing road.
