Just discovered this last week and have been back a few times to read it again. It's just wonderful, William. Any plans for a POD version? I'd love to have it on my shelf next to Sixty-Six (currently sandwiched between 'Leaves of Grass' and 'Howl')

unfortunately, no.

i am combining thorn forest with a collection of about 100 other poems and i haven't yet had time to complete the editing and formatting.

thank you for asking and for your interest, though. i will be sure to make a post once it's ready.

I realize I'm over a year late getting here, but that story is incredible! I couldn't read fast enough, but wanted to slow down to savor the verse. Thank you for sharing.

Shameless? The word 'shame' shouldn't get anywhere near this treasure except for when it's part of the poem itself.

Wonderful. So glad to see it in the queue of new posts again.
