Nifty (is that still a word?) with the added bonus of learning a little bit about you. Meeting everyone here, one poet at a time.

Mems!

What a wonderful thing! Both the placing, and the poem - oh, I remember it so well - I have it in my Collected You.

How exciting for you! It looks great!

Laugh, kookaburra, laugh!

Excellent, reflecting your inimitable phrasing.

Ed, Cally, Rick, Tom, thanks so much. This was workshopped in Met a year ago, with a big debate about blouses, which became swiftness. I hope those in the blouses camp aren't too bitterly disappointed. Thanks for the excellent workshop though.

What better place can there be for Sapphics than Brooklyn?

Thanks, Risa, Marcia, Gail. A lovely compliment. A question for the ages. A kind comparison.
