I’m delighted to learn that Moon City Review has accepted my poem “Having Grown Inland I Can Make of Boats What I Wish.” This was written after a solitary walk down to Inkwell Beach late one night from the faculty house at the last in person Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing.

I never know what I’m going to write about when I write my poems. I sure didn’t know this love poem would be inspired by a couple creatures peeping out from the middle of a 4 hour NOAA deep sea science expedition video, which is the kind of thing my partner and I like to watch late at night with the lights down low…
