Well, I finally decided I really should read some of your poems — and I liked them!
Favorite: “Caution Please Do Not Try To Turn the Head Forcefully by Hand!”
Seven Floors Up to the kitchen of the soul —– blew me away. As did others. Had to comment. Best I’ve read today. Or this week for that matter.
Cati — Have been meaning to let you know the books arrived. Thank you. Love the work. Haven’t forwarded the one on to my friend in Boston yet, but will very soon. Thanks!
Fructify is a lovely poem. I fell right into it and didn’t want it to end.
