I am a fan of LeeAnn's work. This is a beautiful poem that well-evokes the painting by Joan Mitchell, another favorite painter of mine.

Lovely to see you featured here, LeeAnn!

LeeAnn! Delighted to see you here!

For some reason - maybe because I preordered? maybe something else? - I received a copy of Tsunami last month. I was happy to have it early. It would have worth the wait.

Definitely a poet's memoir.

I'm also a fan of both Punctuated and Gathering the Pieces of Days.

❤️ it all LeeAnn. Those spaces.

It was really fun to write it that way. The spaces were like words themselves.
