Dear David,
I read your poem "Mother". I feel it is a symptom of postmodernity, or at
least vulnerable to it.
I have liked the poem's form, expecially the reference to Gabriel. Who I
have quoted in my own poems (all published) I three times (I mean , the
Archangel). ]
Your language transfuses intensity, ,,,and transgression.
