Poetry

This May Sound Familiar by Michael Favala Goldman hits that sweet spot between the intellect and the heart. These poems mine domestic conflict, nature, and the creative process to find breakthroughs to belonging, despite pride, rejections, and self-sabotage. "It's always sunrise somewhere./?irrepressible, the arc/ of awakening."
