Nice. I once entered a contest and was told I won, but it turned out they really only wanted me to buy copies of the anthology (of all the “winners”) I unwittingly gave permission to publish my work.

Congratulations, Robert. A worthy and beautiful poem. Our bodies are like books with pages of scars.

  Thanks, Sabrina. And my book is dog-eared, stained, underscored and a little battered, though still serviceable. 🙂

  I have absolutely no idea why Sault St. Marie appeared in the poem, but it popped in and left me no choice.
