In this short, thoughtful installment of The JourneyMan’s Journal, Gene Strother previews two pieces from his forthcoming poetry collection. The first—Come and Meet Her in Common Meter—is a witty, self-aware introduction to the book’s rhythm and spirit. The second—Lacerations—is a more solemn meditation on scars, both physical and spiritual, and the lives that leave them behind. The episode is light and lyrical in tone, with an undercurrent of grounded faith and quiet resilience.

Common Meter & Lacerations
It's the Journey, Man! The JourneyMan Gene Strother reads to you.
Life is a journey. We all know that. It is filled with roadblocks and roadkill, detours and dead ends, bumpy roads and blowouts. We just keep traveling because along the way we also find incredible views from high vistas, green meadows in peaceful valleys, peaceful lakes, and restless rivers. It's the Journey, man, and the JourneyMan, Gene Strother, is here to read your through it. Bits of poetry. Soaring prose. Tall tales and short fiction. And truth. Always the truth. Grab your morning brew or your night cap and listen in. Peace!
