What do you mean by (attach their name)? Publish it in their book, with your name on it, or with their name on it, even though they aren’t the author?
I’d love to read your poetry. When I get a few more things straightened out I am going to finish my Authors Website, “Poets Weft”. It’s just parked at the moment, but I have a lot of stuff to go on it when the time comes. I will be starting up a new poetry group too. I really miss that whole part of my life.
My old one was called “The Wee Hours” complete with hourglass logo. I did it in conjunction with my magazine of the same name. If I do the magazine this time I’m going to go a lot slower, and not try to make it such a big deal all at once. I think that was my mistake the last time. Too much, too fast. I will likely post an archived copy of it on the website just for reference.
I like to think of poetry as the voice of the soul trying to reach out to our conscious mind. Our subconscious mind understands, sorta like it understands our dreams, but our conscious mind is so busy with other things that it needs conversation in order to begin digesting the message. That is where a good poetry group comes in handy, people comment or discuss the poems openly either by asking questions or by explaining their interpretation. Personally I get something new out of my poetry every time I read it. Like “In The End” sounds like when I’m stuck now. Before, it was something else. Like someone frozen by fear of the unknown for their whole life, that the things that held them back in the past have been over for a long time, kinda the same, but it sorta means more now. A different kind of oblivion.
