Happy Earth Day everyone, here is my sad sonnet, inspired by Eliot who said "April is the cruelest month". Humans are the cruelest creatures because we keep killing all the other creatures, plus ourselves, our water and our air. #EarthDay #planetwater #planetearth #poetrymonth

Death of Persephone is ten months old!
I've travelled to over a dozen cities to read from it.
It took me fifteen years to write, a record for me, though I am not a fast writer.
if you've not read it, please do.
Its first print run sold out in 6 months, but I have copies!
