Dear Mr. Joiner,
I have been a Computer Systems Analyst for 30 years watching my colleagues be cut one after the other for most of that time. I heard your interview on NPR and your poem Austerity on December 4th. The poem really captures a huge depth of feeling in a short number of words. Thank you for your writing.
Happy Holidays,
Brian Blunt
Hi Mr. Blunt,
Thank you for listening to and contemplating my poem, it means a lot to me. It is really hard to see your colleagues lose their jobs. I have also seen that over my years in the field.
You can read the poem here https://poets.org/poem/austerity-0, sometimes it is cool to see the poem rendered on the “page.”
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to me.
Best regards,
Fred
I heard your poem on Market place form 12/4/20 It is really good.
