Amazing how this tiny poem from The Second O of Sorrow has traveled and been translated into many languages through the years. And it all began with Todd's generous post.
I don’t need to read any more think pieces about whether or not poetry matters. How about this short poem from THE SECOND O OF SORROW by Sean Thomas Dougherty.

Sad Math is probably my favorite 21st century book of poetry. The “Birth Mother” series is superb (as are “Ulysses as a Stray Cat,” “Wondrous,” and the rest).
I'm so happy to have a poem in the new issue of West Trade Review including poems by DONNA SPRUIJT-METZ, NATALIA MARTINEZ, LINDSEY BROWN, and Migwi Mwangi. Link to the issue in the comments. #poetry#poetrycommunity #newpoetry
