Vanished, I Am. Comments

Anna, the best way to avoid sounding like an angst-driven teenager is to work with images so you're not just telling the reader how terrible you feel. Read some good contemporary poets like Louise Gluck to see how it's done. If you have time, check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Tell me what you think. Yrs, JC

Your poem is all the more touching because I am familiar with the pain that you describe, I write a lot on the subject of depression death and suicide, maybe you would want to read my poems Requiem and The Funeral Pyre.Thank you for this wonderful work 10/10
