About the work

A closer look.

One original poem, written for one person, from a true detail you give me. Not a template. I write it the way I write my own: short, plain, no ornament that isn't earned. You get: the finished poem as a text file, yours outright, delivered within three days. One revision included. To start: tell me who the poem is for and one thing about them that's true. That's all I need. The poem is about the thing you can't say to them yet. --- Sample, from a poem I published: The moon leans over me. It says nothing. I say nothing back. Which is how a promise finally gets a face: one mouth, closing, on purpose.
