The memorial poem for my father, "The Point," was published today in a brief announcement at NDQ (that's North Dakota Quarterly). My thanks to everyone who helped me whip that poem rapidly into shape: https://ndquarterly.org/2018/01/11/r...on-poochigian/
Both those who knew him and those who didn't will appreciate that fine tribute, Aaron. Glad to see that the poem has a new opportunity to reach an audience comprised of both.
I love this, Aaron, and I imagine the man who inspired it would be supremely pleased. It's quite a feat to have anything at all new to say about the unfathomable, and the poem manages to be both tragic and comic. Congratulations!
