I am a poet with aspirations to criticism, and I enjoy helping people to look at their poetry objectively in order to do the best work that they can. I am at times blunt in my comments but, as I hope will be obvious, well-meaning. If you want me to help you workshop your stuff a bit, I am usually amenable pending my schedule. And if you want to read my own work and give me some response, well, I'll probably just adore you forever.
NOTE: I'm not big on this website's 'points' system as it seems to me to be a kind of bribery. I don't rate comments made on my poetry, nor do I give those little clappy things. But as I said, I try to give you the most useful thoughts that I have when I write on your work, and I do my best to take to heart any suggestions you have for mine.
If you have any questions about how I write and evaluate poetry, take a look at my column on the subject: http://allpoetry.com/column/2352863
Cheers!

on Harrow (Threnody) by SixOClock, on November 25, 2009Hey, thanks so much for the comment. I agree with your preference for reading poetry in print form; the computer screen lacks the physicality and intuitiveness of paper.
