Susan, posting the bio here is a placeholder. I'm thinking about creating a Web site and upgrading my blog next year.
I want to thank you for your incredible poem "How to Love" which I found on the Poem A Day website I subscribe to. I've read and re-read it many times as it speaks so to the heart of where I am in my life right now! Your words are like a much loved song that flows through a person ineffably, profoundly! Thank You! My Best Wishes to you. A New Fan! Jean McKay in S.J., CA but nee R.I. and spent early years in Fall River, Mass.!
I am looking forward to Saturday's Poetry Festival in Salem, volunteering is exciting, I get to meet many people.
I am a poetry writer of 35 years, my book is in the editing department down in Florida, I am so excited. Next year I am hoping to participate in the festival and read from my book.
