Author's note:
About the poem:
Eleven poets gathered every four weeks for four years for a poetry workshop. Some of us were unpublished, some self-published, and some of us were published – by our peers and betters.
One of the arguments led to the writing of Echo’s Brim. Its contents kept reverberating behind my glasses. What would, could, will and may have happened accompanies the heart of the poem.
A petasus: a hat with a wide brim. Regarding the words sans paspalum, sans postcodes, well in places like a desert or an ocean (sans paspalum, sans postcodes) poetry will still be writ.
