Ben Berry I enjoyed the Art of Loss poem. It felt very poignant and really trying to get a message out there. (It was also the only one I really understood. 303 and the Husband one didn't really click with me). I like how the author builds up the big moment, and how she really does not want to go there, but she needs to in order to process this loss.

Ben Berry I don't have a lot of experience with reading poetry. It's not a type of writing I usually read. I did however recently watch the recording of Oliver de la Fraz when he visited earlier this year. I really enjoyed the imagery and symbolism in his poems, such as when he used a broken necklace to represent a broken life. Or when he created the image of blood on marble.
