There are a few more to add later in the day! Have a great day, Liz
I am unable to email you. Do you have another address? The emails keep coming back to me undeliverable! Thanks, Liz
Hi Liz, there's a typo in my email address--so sorry. It's nclaureate@aol.com. K.
I heard Allan Wolf with Sara Holbrook when they presented at NCTE a couple of years ago--absolutely inspiring. I need to order his book. I've been enjoying the "poem a day chapbook challenge this month" from Poetic Asides.
Being accountable to a group--even a group of strangers or virtual friends--has kept me writing since April. The feedback in fun too.
