She is very personable and really takes the time when she reads to make a connection with other peoples poems. On top of that she is a pretty frickin amazing poet. I love the references that she embeds in her poetry that take it to a deeper level. I find myself looking things up to understand and gain a foothold on th nuances of her writing.<br /><br />Shay is definitely a fresh voice. She writes in a modern style and with snark. Her story telling is finely crafted and creative. She is a guilty pleasure I read often.<br /><br />MZ is sharp, pointed and does not waste a whole lot of words. She goes for the heart with a sharp knife and takes no prisoners. Her minimalism yet with great effect is something to be envious of.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037544390731217891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-14759635555348780532015-07-14T07:47:45.980-04:002015-07-14T07:47:45.980-04:00Thanks everyone for your kind words.

MZ speaks to my soul with such fine precision and zeros in on personal topics that really resonate with me. That last few lines of Shay's poem were stunning and how true. A poet's work is often ignored by her "closest" of kin. I'm really glad you went with Kelli's poem, Sherry, and didn't play it safe.
