I’m excited to kick off the new year having reached a nice milestone. My first poem to appear in 2021 at Dissident Voice is also my 2,000^th poem published overall since beginning to submit my work back in 2014. Thank you to Angie Tibbs at DV and to all the editors who have published my writing. It’s been a fun ride so far.
