Published: The Loneliest Whale in the World, by Tom C. Hunley
Congratulations to Tom whose poem "A World Inside This World" was featured on Verse Daily on August 30, 2024.
Praise for The Loneliest Whale in the World
"These poems are prayers, at times to God, at times to whoever might need what they offer. They are at once profound and quotidian, and the tension humming between those two poles is named compassion. It is hard-won, this compassion, yet Hunley wears it like a loose garment, which is one of the pleasures of this book. In the end these poems are a way to remind us that we are not alone, that there is a world inside this world, and it is beautiful." —Nick Flynn, low
