“The Walk,” by Stephen Jarrell Williams

Leave a comment

Since I began seeking publication for my creative writing just over a year ago, I’ve consistently benefited from the encouragement of Stephen Jarrell Williams, Editor of Dead Snakes.

Stephen has long been an established and prolific writer, which makes it more impressive that he generously finds time to provide a forum for new writers like me. I am getting acquainted with Stephen’s own widely published poetry, and I particularly enjoy “The Walk.” For this and more poetry by Stephen, see the online quarterly Mirror Dance magazine here:

I have half a mind to drive down to Fredericksburg just for a chocolate milkshake.  I might just kidnap Russell Morgan and take him with me.

Enjoying another piece by Sean Macro tonight. I believe that “I’m Fine” will be my favorite poem of his, but I quite enjoy this as well.
