This selection is lovely. I've spent my early morning pondering the value and power of grace. When hand in hand with gratitude, she creates a gorgeous life. Thank you for this newsletter which has led me to a deeper appreciation of that -- and so much more.
Thank you Maya for these soothing poems. . i wonder if you and the poets know how much these words can mean to someone in the midst of a day filled with doubt and exhaustion. Sending love and best wishes your way.
This is one of my favorite Poetry Today mini collections ever. If it was an album it’d be “no skips.” Thank you for presenting us with lovely gatherings of poems. They’re like poetry posies!
A beautiful selection, thank you! I always thought that the Wendell Berry verse was part of a much longer poem, but maybe he published it separately as well. A favorite, that last line.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 3 YEARS!
I have been enjoying your newsletter and poetry for over a year now.
These poems are all meaningful and heartfelt -- affecting me each and every one.
And so many great lines in them, and all good endings-with imagery, twists, and basic truths.
Thank you!
Thank you so much, James!
Red Brocade and My Father at Forty are now on repeat in my brain. I’m grateful for these and you, Maya.💜
So glad you enjoyed!
