The Hermit Poet

Stop by the latest (August) issue of DMQ Review and check out Elegance of Surprise by fellow Kundiman poet Tamiko Beyer. There’s something magical in how the poem weaves its way (almost surreal in its beauty) to that unexpected discovery of new love. The line “we kissed in the blue-lit bar” grabbed me and through the entire poem I am pulled in by a deep sense of wonder. Great poem. Great poet. Congratulations Tamiko!
