Hello, TranquilityBase, and welcome. It’s lovely to meet you. I do agree with you that there is something special about the Pigpen. Thank you for the critiques you’ve already provided, and I look forward to reading your poetry.
P.S. I’m happy you were able to resolve your registration issue. Our beloved founder, Billy, is no longer with us. If you have difficulties in the future you can send a pm my way and I would be very happy to assist.
All the best,

Just after retirement, did a stint working with cut-ups (promise,no cut-ups will be proffered here!). Nine months ago my son died of a accidental drug overdose, and the Muse began to return, a bit slowly at first, but now she's whipping me to work every day. Almost immediately felt the need to be read and get some idea if this was poetry or whatever not-poetry should be called. As to my reading taste, I'd probably be called a post-modernist fossil.
Checked out some other forums but this one felt special, especially after reading the first poem in Basic (at the time anyway) Pathos.
P.S. Billy, you can ignore my email because, obviously, I got registered. A friend 800 miles away was able to do it. Go figure.
