“Why Poetry is Synonymous with War” and “Birch Tree”
As often as I like to make believe that I’m not a real writer and never will be, I keep proving myself wrong, thankfully.

“It can be depressing when no one takes interest, and a lack of response makes the writer question why they’re writing at all. To have one’s writing rejected is like you, yourself, are being rejected.”
We’ll keep it short this week! Two literary journals decided to accept my poetry, and they both came out this weekend. Here are the links below:
“Why Poetry is Synonymous with War” (Sky Island Journal)
“Birch Tree” (Trouvaille Review)
Pretty wild. There was definitely a time in my life, not very long ago, when I was super discouraged because no one was accepting my poetry, not even places that published only first-time poets. So this has been both humbling and gratifying. I hope you’ll give them a read.
