Michael T. Young Verse-Virtual 2018 March

March 2018

It’s nearly unbelievable but my third full-length collection, The Infinite Doctrine of Water, is going to be published in April by Terrapin Books. My poetry has appeared in many journals and my prose is starting to make its way out into the world as well.

Prayer

I put my hands together
like a shell,
then open them,
expecting, one day,
to find a pearl.
