Default Cassette-Letter in Plough

My sonnet "An Old Cassette-Letter" is newly published by Plough online. I workshopped it here a while back, so thanks as always to Sphereans who helped me out with it.

Powerful poem, Andrew! There is something about those audio messages, especially when the one who left it is gone. They are rare and haunting, and your poem expresses this so well.

Congrats Andrew! I remember this one, and it's good to see it out in the world. Great poem, and that last line is so good.

Thanks Siham, Matt, Andrew, and Julie. After the poem was published, it was discussed in an "ADK Homeroom" podcast along with another poem in Plough, the Spherean Jean Kreiling's "After Helping My Father Rake the Leaves."

This is a moving poem, Andrew. From the bone. Thank you for making me aware of it.
