Places Like People - Poem

My poem Places Like People was accepted for publication in the Summer 2023 Edition of the eMerge Magazine by Joy Clark and the fine folks at The Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow. The title of the piece is taken from a quote in The Shining, while the inspiration is a combination of the aforementioned Stephen King novel, Kubrick’s adaptation, and my stay at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, AR.

You can read it now for FREE on the eMerge website which can be found by using the Google machine OR by clicking this link or the image below.

This is my first piece of published poetry (not including the self-published collection Culaccino) which I find fitting considering the poem was inspired by Shirley Jackson and Stephen King. I love that my first piece of published poetry is a horror poem :)

Thanks again to Joy Clark and eMerge! I hope you all enjoy the poem.
