Somewhere Between KC/MO and East St. LouisDuring my time as Missouri's 6th Poet Laureate, I have had two major goals. The first has been to put poetry into the hands and ears of Missourians who don't usually read poetry or go to poetry readings. My second has been to promote or highlight Missouri poets and publishers. Thanks to all of the poets (over 50) who have participated in some part of one of the projects, and thanks to Jason Ryberg of Spartan press and Ben Furnish of BkMk press for

During my time as Missouri's 6th Poet Laureate, I have had two major goals. The first has been to put poetry into

the hands and ears of Missourians who don't usually read poetry or go to poetry readings. My second has been to

promote or highlight Missouri poets and publishers. Thanks to all of the poets (over 50) who have participated in some

part of one of the projects, and thanks to Jason Ryberg of Spartan press and Ben Furnish of BkMk press for

production. As a result of Covid, I have not been able to have the usual Missouri Poet Laureate travel experience for public

appearances. I've given readings, talks, and keynotes, taught workshops, judged contests, participated in book festivals,

written poems, published a book, re-issued a new edition of Red Silk, been interviewed, and traveled around some parts

of the state. I have done many events while sitting at my computer on Zoom, so I decided I wanted to create some

projects that would help me fulfill my two primary goals and reach all regions of the state in a meaningful way.

The most significant thing I have learned so far as Poet Laureate is how many fine poets have lived or worked in

Missouri for a large part of their lives. Through my projects, I have tried to represent all regions of the state, multiple

styles, and diversity, but I know there are still many poets out there I don't know or was not able to contact to be

involved in one of my projects. I know I haven't begun to represent all Missouri poets, but I'm not done yet, so there's

more to come. My first project was to create ten podcasts called The Literary State. Each of these is a ten to twenty-minute

podcast with a Missouri poet. Poets answer two questions about the craft of poetry, give a writing prompt, and read

two of their poems. The podcasts are available on Anchor, Spotify, and Apple, or those interested can google them and

listen on their phones or computers. The goal is that people will listen to them in their car, while cooking dinner, sitting

at a table with a pen in hand ready to write, or anywhere they usually listen to podcasts. I also hope that teachers

and professors will share them with their students as the podcasts offer valuable information about writing.

My second major project was to create Tiny Books to highlight eighteen more Missouri poets. Each of these tiny

books includes one poem. Each of those poets received a quantity of tiny books to distribute to people who do not

usually read poetry-the grocer, waiter, doctor, dentist, mail deliverer, grass cutter, neighbor, etc. These tiny books have

been incredibly popular, and I wish I had thousands more of them to distribute since there are over six million people

in Missouri, and I wish everyone could have at least one of them. Some have reacted in wonderful ways of helping to

spread them around for many to read, and I thank them for that. The third project is this one-two anthologies. Ten

poems from ten more Missouri poets in two anthologies published by Spartan press and in partnership with I-70

Review. Welcome to the words of ten Missouri poets in this anthology. Enjoy.

Super helfpul in the summer
Pros: Charging functionality supports fast wireless output. Mount design integrates cleanly with dashboard appearance. Cooling fan improves charging durability. Works well with MagSafe alignment. RGB lighting enhances visual look. Strong suction Easy to adjust to fit and manoeuvre Cons: Noise level from fan audible. Installation alignment requires precision. Lighting brightness distracting at night. Value for money higher than basic mounts.

Coolest wireless charger design I've seen
I just gotta say that this is the coolest design for a wireless charger, looks kinda futuristic. Now how well does this work? Amazingly well and truly easy to use. It is adjustable, stable and much safer for everyone. I really like this charger.

Wow that light color ring is annoying
There is no way to turn this color light off. I don't even know why it has to have a light at all. I suppose it is to tell you it has power. But the light could have been something that momentarily turns on and then off as you place the phone on. I'm a DIY'er and I'm going to find a way to take this apart and disable the light. I'll report back if I'm successful. The good news is that this mount is identical to another one I have except for the magnet charging section. I'm talking it is identical down to the knobs and metal arm so it's generic in that sense. They only changed out the magnetic section. This type of mount holds well to the screen. The charging speed seemed adequate. Not terribly fast but not slow. Wirelessly charging is always slower than plugged in. The supplied USB cable is braided and feels like quality. See attached picture. This mount is not something you'll necessarily want to use every time you drive. Therefore the color ring is annoying.

SLEEK EXTENDABLE SCREEN MOUNT
HIGH SPEED TESLA MAGSAFE POWER i picked this up for my Model 3 to see if the 25W Qi2.2 charging actually lives up to the hype during my daily work week. ✨ The CNC aluminum build is top notch and feels much more robust than the flimsy plastic mounts i have tested. It's a piece of cake to clamp onto the corner of the Tesla screen and the metal arm matches the interior aesthetics perfectly. The magnetic hold is strong enough to keep my phone secure even when i am taking sharp turns thru my weekend adventures. ✨ Performance is where this thing shines because it actually delivers the 25W speeds without overheating. The built in cooling fan is a smart design choice that keeps the temperature down during long drives. i can hear the fan if the music is off but it's barely noticeable and definitely worth it for the consistent charging speed. ✨ The RGB lighting adds a subtle glow that makes it easy to find the mount in the dark without being distracting. Having the extendable arm is a big benefit for finding the perfect line of sight without blocking the main touchscreen. It's clearly a well thought out solution for any Tesla owner who wants a professional grade charging setup. THE VERDICT This is a exceptional piece of hardware that delivers real world results for high speed charging. The combination of active cooling and a sturdy metal build makes it a first class addition to my car. 'As a 35 year veteran of the computer technology industry, I offer informed and experienced perspectives in my product reviews.' I will update this review if anything changes within 1 year. ★★★★★ (5 Stars): A 5 star rating indicates the product meets my expectations for its purpose.

Works great. Perfect position
Grip and charging are great. I like the position because it doesn't block my view or the vents
