Abundant Number 5

I was very happy to contribute a new poem with informal title 'Locomotion' to the fifth issue of Éireann Lorsung 's wonderful micro-publishing project Abundant Number . Abundant Number  5 was published in November 2025, and my contribution was commissioned for the recurring 'Day by Day' section.

I'm happy he has chosen to include my poem 'The Executioner's Confession' in his issue. Also included is work by several poets who for me have stood out over the last few years, among them Kimberly Campanello,...
