I surprise that who counted her/him as poet, neither male nor female. By birth he is male but why he himself show as curse of society in the form of changing his gender.

Joy never fails to amaze me. She truly is a blessing to poetry and her people but to all of us, equally.

"lonely for no one" has to be still one of my favorite lines to end any poem I've read. Thank you, it's breathtaking.

My guess is after a while, poets get staid about reading their own poetry.
