Thank you again Devin. Your school students are SO fortunate to have the poet that you are as their teacher. Although I don’t know you, I’m very grateful to have found your work and I count you as part of my community of poets who know what ‘feeling’ really means.

Dear Devin,

I cannot tell you how much todays post spoke to my heart. i have lived with the embarrassment of not only feeling: but also giving expression to that feeling for, far too long.

thank you for reigniting the flickering 'hope for worth' inside me ❤️❤️❤️✨

The stanza that starts with "You have a new notification...", and your thoughts about it shine a floodlight on my own emotional process so much of the time. I think it explains why people of a certain age (me) talk so much about the past, attempting often to glorify it (gild it) as a way to disdain or make sense of the present. "When where you are feels wrong and where you've been feels inaccessible..." Wow, YES. Thank you for this insight.
