Thank you, Wayfarer Magazine!

This poem stands out for its gripping gun metaphor that frames words as unstoppable firepower in the face of illness and exclusion. The real spark is how it flips “bullets” of defiance into “bloody ink” for an epic tale, turning hardship into heroic poetry. Congratulations Marya!
