My poem, “Primal,” received the runner-up award in the Chattanooga Writers’ Guild’s July Contest “Days in the Sun. It was published, following the winning poem, on the Guild Website and in the Chattanooga Pulse, I am pleased to republish my poem “Primal” here, followed by three other recent poems.
Ray what a terrific expression of the real terror many of us are hiding under murmured anxieties.

I just couldn't resist the opportunity to quote Kurt Cobain.
