And of course, if you want to get those poems by email, go to the bottom of any page at rattle.com, type in your email address, sign up for our daily poem by email, get those poems from our issues and the poems from Poetry Spawn and other categories as well.

So we're going to take a quick break and go to our main guest, Mark Yakich.

So sit tight.

We'll be right back with a whole lot more poetry.

All right.

Yeah.

So that was Mark Yakich.

You can find all of Mark's work at his website, markyakich.com. That's M-A-R-K-Y-A-K-I-C-H.com, markyakich.com. Find his books there, The Poetry Reader, The Survivor's Guide, Spiritual Practices, a whole bunch of other books too.

Well, that was the prompt, write a poem in which you lose something but ultimately gain.

That is your prompt for next week, and the guest next week is going to be, uh, Mark Yakich.

So Mark Yakich has those wonderful books.

Um, The Poetry Reader's a great anthology of poems and, and discussion, and then, um, the other one, what's it called? I'm drawing a blank right now.

But it's a, a great book on, like, the importance and, and why we have poetry still.

Um, his most recent book himself is Spiritual Exercises.

Just a wonderful poet, great thinker about poetry.

Mark Yakich is next week's guest, Monday, October 19th, for Wratalcast 364.
