One of my poems is up over at I am not a silent poet.
I don’t usually write “protest poems.” I try not to be too heavy-handed with what I write plus I’m lousy at getting anything done in a timely manor. Sometimes though, events drive me to react. Usually with anger that I have to work through. Every once in a while, something like this happens.
You should also check out all the other work over there.
Great protest poems.
Giving voice to the voiceless.
Letting the unheard have a hearing.
Poetry that says something.
A Prayer Like Gravity 
Good. I shall go there.

Oooh yes! That does sound like a lovely place to live. Now I shall have to write a story about the folk who live in Timely Manor.

This is brilliant, Johnny. Have you ever considered submitting to the Kenyon Review? I am doing some work for them as an undergraduate, and your stuff is exactly what we look for.

Thank you, Natalie. I have considered submitting to a number of journals, magazines, but I’m still figuring out how/where to begin. I guess I just got another step closer.
Thank you so much for that. I will look into it.
