  Thanks, Merril. I suppose I could call it a ghazal. It’s close. 🙂

What a great little piece to grace Bold + Italic’s debut issue. I’ve been thinking/writing about otherness quite recently, but haven’t yet found such salience as you achieve in this one. Bravo, Sir Robert!

I like the magazine Robert and of course yours was fantastic, and all the poems were outstanding. I think I might submit some of my poems.
