Lately, I've been using the "Read Aloud" feature on Word to help me edit whatever I'm working on, it helps me to catch things that I might miss reading on the screen or paper. Migraines are awful, I hope you're feeling better. I do like this one very much. It reminded me of my recent reading of John Cowper Powys' novel "Atlantis," there was a very ancient dryad in an old oak tree, she conversed with Odysseus, she was one of my favorite characters.
I'm so glad other folks told me about your Substack! Quite honestly I love everything about the poem—the form, the subject matter, the language and the tone, it's all what I'm here for, quite frankly. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is a very belated thank you, but thanks so much for the wonderful compliment! I do blame the lateness of this reply partly on your Substack, as each time I started to respond I went back and read a bit more of yours instead.... loving it!
Great piece! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
This makes me feel connected to ancestral history
It's an important place to connect, I think!

Thank you so much, Laura! I'm not familiar with Powys' work... clearly I need to look into it!
Wishing you a lovely day!

No problem at all, no timely response necessary! But thanks very much! Always nice to meet such great folks on the platform.
