I’ve had the opportunity to continue enjoying the work in “Threads,” Dagda Publishing’s latest poetry anthology. One great standout for me is Dennis Villelmi’s “I Am Not of the Faction.”

Villelmi has an economy for stark, strong language and dark imagery that I truly envy. (My own recent work seems meandering and overly prosaic, by comparison.) It’s great work by a great poet, and I encourage everyone to give it a close look.
