  1. I have come down with a spring cold. In order to recover my voice, I’m trying a literary reliever: hot whiskey and lemon, with honey. If I can sing tomorrow, it will have been a success. 

  2. Here is one of my two submissions... another one is coming tomorrow, I hope.
  3. The only piece of Bortniansky’s I knew was that hymn tune (the Russian anthem as it was). This is a revelation.
  4. Last week there were aconites and crocuses blooming in green grass. This morning, I went skiing under the stars. Your poem writes of this kind of experience perfectly.
  5. These are intense and beautifully drawn. The line in the last coals left the heart alive was especially arresting. Thank you for sharing these with us.
  6. I imagined Eustace and Marge connecting as friends, at the least. They would make an interesting pair, though each was set in their respective ways.
  7. Gladioli are impressive and showy, impossible to ignore, especially if they’re blooming right at one’s feet. So vivid is this image, it stopped me in my tracks, and I had to start over.

    Questions

    You ask questions in Number 2 that occur to me also - sometimes at my desk at work, sometimes in the middle of the night. I don’t have answers, yet I’m comforted that I’m not the only one asking. Number 1 makes me feel breathless, as if I were part of a movie scene. Thank you for such vivid questions.
  9. I’m enjoying this story. Fred and Mo established a connection, which the big man can’t deny. He selflessly pushes Fred away - but I wonder if Fred can stay away?

    Gratitude

    These two poems made me smile as I read them. I felt a sense of greater peace and purpose after my second time through. Thank you for these gems that remind me to seek simplicity and to consider others.
  11. Your translations make the arresting quality of Schwabe’s poems clear to us whose German is rusty. The images are vivid and the lines will echo in my ear. waiting for where the miracle lingers to join people who die together in longing and connect us like no two ever before. Thank you for bringing these to us.

    Forty-One

    This chapter is a marvel for the careful way in which Ed and Liam begin to deepen their connection, and for the caring way the staff observe something that can’t be hidden. But it’s dangerous territory, because deep emotions have hurt both boys too. One wonders if they can handle what is developing.

    Glitches

    I liked this. You constructed a great poem out of computer parts.
  14. Your comment makes me smile. It’s immensely kind, for if I were even half of either Tomas or Fletcher, I’d be a better man. Thank you very, very much.
