FALL 2024

Even in Brooklyn, not known for fall foliage, above fresh ground cover made of dead leaves hang orange, red and yellow survivors of declining light and temperatures.  As leafblower-wielding soldiers blast the season's wreckage back and forth between their stores and houses, it's necessary to acknowledge a season change.  Grief for losses from last spring has calmed, though hardly ended, instead retreating into a niche to stay as long as memory persists.  In not many days we'll have an election which will, or will not, transform some part of American life.  Far more worrisome are continuing wars. Pray for peaceful resolutions.  At Expansive Poetry Online, we offer poems again and hope you will enjoy them. 

Poems this month have arrived from C.B. Anderson, Susan Jarvis Bryant, Bruce Bennett, Sally Cook, Michael Curtis, Claudia Gary, Andrea Kibel, Arthur Mortensen, Brian Palmer, Carolyn Raphael, David Rothman, Joseph S. Salemi, Susan Spear, Jan Schreiber, and Frederick Turner.
