I couldn't decide what rating I'd give, so I hope fellow readers will decide for themselves. My main reason not to give it 5 stars was that the author dragged out the story line too long. I’ve lived with cats most of my life, have two at the moment, s ...more |

A poet myself, I attend a lot of poetry readings and enjoy purchasing an autographed book straight from the author. Just a few minutes into Cherry’s reading told me he was my sort of poet. I can’t say that my trials to gain equal rights and pay for w ...more |

Thanks for recommending Henri Cole's new book, Alarie -- I've put it on my to-read list!
Jan wrote: "Thanks so much for the add, Alarie!"I was actually surprised you weren't already in my contacts, Jan. I wanted to let you know I voted for your poem in the contest. Love it! But I think I said so in IHOP. I don't usually like to say so there for fear there's another member in the grouping that I didn't notice.
We have some pretty good overlap in reading tastes, so I'm sure I'll get some ideas from you.
