The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes weekly installments of craft pieces, approaches to writing problems, topics in contemporary publishing for writers, and biographical features on poets I consider important.
What a great set, Sean!! Affirms everything I’ve imagined about Florida, a state I’ll likely never step foot in. Such evocative poems… I can smell the algae in the humid air (having spent seven years on Guam as a kid helps😉). Hope you’re well.
So evocative that as I read these, my scalp prickled as I experienced the humidity.
