Dedicated to John F. Walter for gently opening my eyes and ears. Thank you for bringing about my interest in the wonderful wide world of modern poetry. It's an awakening that I'm pleased to say should have a profound influence on my writing, eventually.

Dr. Beck~Who would have thought just eight months ago that I'd be reading poetry? It never crossed my mind until recently. Thank you for your comment, dear one.

I love Sharon Olds. Thanks. I wonder if all kids think this about their parents. I wonder if all parents hope their kids don't make the same mistakes they made.

I appreciate this dedication so very much, Jennifer, as well as you bringing us these readings of modern and contemporary poets.

As you work so hard to improve your craft and release the writer within, you crossfertilize with other minds, and rigger other poets to do the same.

You stream forward with your own unique inflection of the author-to-author relationship in this brave new world of writing in the metaverse.

Thank you.
