The Poetic Express: the July 2022 Issues

August 22, 2022

The Poetic Express continues. Someday I might stop posting it here. Thanks for looking and thanks for reading.

This issue includes a poem dedicated the blues historian and surrealist Paul Garon. I met him a few times and have read his books. He died in late July.

Back issues of the Poetic Express are on my digital archive at the University of Detroit Mercy. Ready For viewing: all issues from April 1985 to December 2016.
