My poem, “A Lot of Nothings,” is live at wildness. Many thanks to editor Michelle Tudor for supporting my work over the years.
Poem Up at Wildness
O at the Edges
Musings on poetry, language, perception, numbers, food, and anything else that slips through the cracks.

I love your mind and poetry Robert, sorry I don’t respond more often…

Thanks, Cate. I’m fascinated by the Big Nothing, but am in no hurry to experience it. There are no do overs.

Maybe it’s all a typographical mystery. Is it full of zeros or ohs?
