Long-hidden shadows of the places they came from

My poem "Drinking from the Incantation Bowl" has been accepted by Vastarien: A Literary Journal. I love these spiraling traps of words and the demons caught in them, but I still don't know what jolted the writing of the poem last October. I said at the time, "Maybe I just feel the king of the demons would be a better problem to deal with than any human we have in power right now." The market is a new one for me and one whose pages I am delighted to join. I am having a lot of difficulty with the world right now, but art is an important thing.

"Maybe I just feel the king of the demons would be a better problem to deal with than any human we have in power right now."

That is painfully accurate.

Congrats on the acceptance.

That is painfully accurate.

I've read multiple stories where it turns out all right!

Congrats on the acceptance.

Thank you.
