Anonymous Said,
Martin Willits is a fantastic poet. I recently discovered his work here (http://empiricalmag.blogspot.com/2012/12/from-empirical-archives-l-is-for-lichen.html), and was inspired by his way of creating atmosphere. Reading his writing made me take notice of the small things around me. I would highly recommend checking out this poem, especially to anyone who was fortunate enough to pick up one of his books.
