Welcome to the monthly roundup for February, March, and just a teensy bit of April, 2024 (OK, this edition is not exactly monthly) at Silver Door, where perusal-worthy articles and poetry related happenings from Substack and beyond are highlighted alongside recent SD news and posts.
Since the last roundup we’ve published two poems by two poets, Monika Cooper and Mary Angela Douglas, both of which you will find below and both of which I urge you to read, reread, transcribe in your notebook, inscribe in your hearts. They are beautiful.
Silver Door has been a little triumph for me personally on a more than one level, but most of all in allowing me to provide a small platform for work that I deem to be of the utmost importance, and for the unexpected friends of Poetry with a capital P who have popped up to put their shoulder to the wheel of Beauty making.

I HAVE NOTHING FOR YOU HERE.
