This brings back memories of staying up all night, writing, and finally looking up to see that lamps were no longer needed. Beautiful. PS: My mother has that same desk, but with small drawers on each side of the door. I used to hide things in that nook there.

Joseph, you have single-handedly taught me to love poetry. I’d like to give Jarvis a little credit but it was all you.

Beautiful. I love the flow of the words as I read them. And the photo as always is lovely. I can feel the peacefulness of the room. I love the crucifix tucked in the desk.

A very deep and intimate expression of how I imagine just about every writer feels when working on their craft.

Wow. So good. You really had me at "barbed quiet". That's one of the best phrases I've encountered in a long time. Brilliant! ☺️🙏
