That is okay, Josephine. I was not asking. Medium is different than Substack. Medium charges everyone the same $5 a month. It allows you to write as well as read whatever you want. Unlike Substack, the money does not go directly to the writer. The money is split up among the various writers that you read. Don't ask me how.
I am glad that you enjoyed the poem. It is one of my favorites. I do not like much of his later stuff. I have found that I usually find one or two poems of a poet that I love. The rest I forget. I just discovered Sherman Alexie on Substack. He is very good.
Here is my list of 18 poets that I recommend every writer read. https://medium.com/the-pom/18-poems-every-poet-and-writer-should-read-4c39e7ea349b
To this list, I would add Sherman Alexie.
I love the Amiri Baraka poem. Thanks for sharing that. Not ready to pay for subscription just yet!
