Gorgeous writing, makes me want to put my wellies on and get out into the countryside. A bit far away seeing as I’m in London but your poem brings it to me door!

Oh, Penny, the part of me rooted in the Minnesota prairie loves this. This sense of place, of legacy of history, of family.

Such a deep and emotional poem. I really love it. It reminds of a phrase I once used in one of my poems “And all this feels more like whimper”. Great work, keep on writing ❤
