New Poem on Video: You Don’t See It

As I mentioned in this post, I received an Naturally Autistic Awards from the ANCA Foundation in the International Adult Literary category at their awards ceremony yesterday in Vancouver, BC. I was presented the award for an unpublished collection of poems, “Novena”.

I was unable to attend the ceremony, but recorded one of the poems in the collection, “You Don’t See It”, to be played at the awards. I am sharing it with you, embedded below into this post.
