I am thrilled to have another of my poems in Foxglove Journal. My gratitude goes out to editor, Elizabeth Gibson. This one is very different from my usual stuff. You can check it out here.

I am a writer, going blind in Los Angeles. This blog is my story of a slow approach to darkness as I traverse through the rubble of urban life. It is what I see in the withering spaces of my remaining vision. It is humor and despair and darkness and light. It is what I witness as the world slowly disappears.

Well deserved and LOVED the poem. One of my favorite lines:
He plants his feet reluctantly
onto a floor bathed in the chill
of a disappearing moon,

It was a little effervescent in a way.

I love how you build your imagery, and how the tension slowly builds in your poems. How lively and picturesque your babies are.

Thank you Bojana! This was a bit of a departure for me, so I was a little nervous about it.

No need to be. You’re equally good at different genres.

You are knocking it out of the park, Susan! Hey, don’t forget about us little people when you arrive, eh? 😼

Haha. You are kind, my friend! Thank you for your support! I am probably just trying to avoid having to actually write a blog post!
