Yay, Sam- so many great poets! I remember loving Melissa's poem, so glad to see it chosen.
A very strong selection, Sam. Congratulations on having published these.
Thanks, Rachel and James. I appreciate your comments.
Good choices, Sam. And thanks for posting them: A good reminder to us at the Mule to make our selections.

Thanks for the inclusion, Sam. I'm honored!
Thanks for the comment, Helen. And Collin, thanks for sending your work my way.
Hi Sam! Great choices--Collin manages to comment/"reframe" current events in a way that makes them "fresh". Very few people/poets can do that.
And I adore Sandra Beasley's stuff.We were in the same workshop, at IU(Indiana University)Writer's Conference, Summer 2004, with Maureen Seaton.
btw, in your current BFR, Felicia Mitchell's poem for her brother is quite tender. She appears to have "distance" with his death, even as she draws us, near. Lovely, lovely piece. I enjoyed reading her comments on the piece, too.
Thanks for the comments, Lisa. I passed your note on to Felicia.
