In celebration of National Poetry Month! / by Julie Conquest

Most of my leisure these days occurs amidst words. I am working to finish a large work of the past several years while starting to make plans for the future. In the midst of all this, Andrew Murphy at the Austin Public Library invited local writers to share work in celebration of National Poetry Month. Following is an excerpt from something I have been working on that I am happy to share with you: 

'Everyday American Spaces' Amidst a resurgence of divisiveness and lines demarcating places and identities, where do we fragment and come together? Where connects us? Everyday American Spaces Drive lines Grow lines You lost it Look at it Not too fast That is the best part Best view Right Colors Letters Signs Glitters This is living and that is driving Plastic seats made us walk like this Don't you think?
