Farther Reaching
A few days ago, I was very happy to receive an e-mail from Steve Hackett, (of Genesis) thanking me for the copy of a book which I had sent him.
The title to which I am referring is none other than "Twilight Alehouse," a book of poems which I had written while listening to the music of Genesis. I also threw in a copy of a poem, "Brighter Days," which was featured in the February edition of "Explorer Magazine."
Since Steve's birthday is February 12, I wanted to wait for a while after that day so that my gift would stand out a little.
I have to be honest and say that I didn't expect any acknowledgement of the gift received, but I am certainly glad that I did. This just goes to show that my work can reach anyone if I am able to get it into the hands of one of my role models!
