Another current events capture at New Verse News by a Spherian. I noticed that Tracey Gratch had a poem yesterday at New Verse News.

And big congratulations for your "Strong Woman" placement as well.

A very strong poem indeed, Tracey! NVN has grown into something of a powerhouse, thanks to work of this caliber. Well done!

Congrats, Tracey!!! Very moving.

And thanks for mentioning the Rattle "Poets Respond" feature. Some of the poems there are really strong. I just can't write that fast--most of the time, anyway. But Sphereans should definitely give it a try.
