Thank you all.
seeitallclearlynow, Haha, I was never interested in poetry either. It wasn't until I started to learn about it that I could appreciate the art. Now I'm an avid reader of poetry. I used to not care at all for Shakespeare, but now that I have read just about everything he ever wrote, I have to say that he was a brilliant writer.
To me, poetry has become like music. Some is crappy, and some has such a beauty it can move me to tears.
Brenda, indeed, just in time for people to put it on their holiday shopping list, it couldn't have worked out better. I had some awful delays, normally the book would have been out in August, but now I'm glad it came out this time of year.
