New Poems are basically work in progress. For a long time I just added them to Hot Tea!, but it is getting pretty full and my writing is evolving. New Poems is a holding ground where new poems can live and perhaps changes as I reread them and edit them -- poetry isn't really a thing that is necessarily "finished" just because it appears in print.

For that reason I'd cherish feedback from you, dear reader, if any of these poems are particularly good -- or bad. Even if you dislike them, any poet cherishes the knowledge that somebody out there is actually reading and thinking about their work, and some of them I may not be too happy with as well -- your criticisms may inspire me to make some much needed changes. Or not.
