Welcome back, Rose. I'm very glad you're happy now.
(And you can post a poem as soon as you like, ...just in case anyone's wondering.)

Jayne

I'll do a few more crits first, but... probably not 15. Too impatient for that

So Gertrude Stein could have written "A Rose is a Rose is an Aaron ..."

Why the change of identity? Personally I'd like the right to change my identity every other post.

I was the non-Poochigian "Aaron" who used to putter about these parts. I'm trans; I don't go by that name anymore; please don't use it; and while we're at it: she/her pronouns.
Post #16. Seems clear enough.

Poochigan, imo, is a really good poet, with maybe, maybe some really big problems. I have no idea. And I can't relate at all. My life is so full of happiness I don't know what to do with myself.

Hey James (and Brian). The section of Rose's post I quoted really isn't about Aaron Poochigian. It's about Rose who used to be a member here called "Aaron Novick" and is asking politely that we don't use that name any more, (so I'm going to make that my last time). Read it carefully and have a little think.

Thank you, Mark.

No change in identity, just a change in my recognition of something that was always there, and growing increasingly impatient at my refusal to acknowledge it. Along with that more fundamental change comes the rather more superficial change in labels.

Well then, good for you, Rose. My apologies too. Of course people use different names here for various reasons, but this is significantly more meaningful. Congratulations, and good to see you back.
