And to think I only just came across your work and was introduced to you through https://mmccl.substack.com/p/twist-and-shout-i-told-my-dying-husband which touched me deeply as it must have so many. I can imagine it must be especially meaningful for you to have such an honest and personal piece gain wide recognition. And so inspiring for the rest of us as well!
Wonderful news, Mary. I am loving the inside track of what this recognition means to you. That badge is super cool too. Well deserved and all the sweeter for the diligence and dedication you put into your work. Brava!
I’m so happy to have found you here. And I have found others through your Substack too. Maya is the person I found Substack through after beginning “Wound”. I can’t remember if I found you through comments on one of her posts or if your post showed up on my feed because of “algorithms”. Either way I’m glad I get to read such personal and meaningful posts!
That socks poem got me in. I didn’t realize anyone else would relate to socks that way! And as a scientist I usually have some difficulty relating to poetry so I was curious about what you would put out on Substack as a poet. So by signing up as a freebie I figured I could try you out and always unsub if you were too abstruse or difficult for me. And pay if your writing gets me hooked as some mostly political writers like HCR and Joyce Vance and her clarifying dives into today’s major legal quagmires and remarkable chickens do. So far so good. I suspect you well deserve a spotlight.
Congratulations! I was delighted to see you featured in the Substack Reads. New to this forum, it was fun to recognize the "sock" piece. And I can't wait to read about lilacs. One of my very favorite signs of spring.
Congrats, Mary - well deserved! Twist and Shout is an especially powerful piece that I hope everyone will read.
That's fabulous news, Mary. And so very richly deserved! 🎉🎉
Congratulations!
Wow! That is great news, Mary. Warm congratulations on being a featured publication, so well deserved.
I'm so happy for you Mary! ❤️
