When Jennifer sent me the manuscript of Alabaster Flask, I was having a bad day. Not only did I decline to blurb it, I unforgivably told her that I thought its publication was premature. I was wrong. It is a brilliant debut.

Well, I'm most assuredly no Alicia, Catherine or Rhina, but thank you for the kind notice. Say no more, please, please, Tim -- believe me, the word "unforgivable" does not exist in my Oxford...

Aaw. I just love that.
I enjoyed the reviews, congratulations again on the book, Jennifer.

Many thanks, wendy. I have a second book coming out in a few months, and Mr. Kennedy says it's better than the first, so maybe Tim will review me!

"I had figured out by the time I was twenty that the two most exciting things happening on my planet were that East was conversing with West and that women were achieving equality with the more muscular sex who owe their existence to their mothers."
Jennifer, that's a quote from the new prosimetrum. Two of the women with whose work I am so smitten are you and Deborah Warren, who have mothered fifteen children betwixt you.

Congratulations, Jennifer! Sam Gwinn (whoops, I mean Gwynn) recommended your book to me when it was first published, and it's every bit as good as he said. And how great that you have another coming out so soon.
Someday you'll have to share with me your secret for writing books of poems despite the distractions of five children. As someone who uses a single kid as an excuse to procrastinate endlessly, I'm in awe.
Terese, congratulations on the fine review and (belatedly) on your own good news.

Catherine, thank you -- you've made my day. It's gratifying to hear you've read the book. I wish I could take credit, but my secret is an adoring, ingenious husband who is more than a bit of a taskmaster! If I haven't shown him anything in awhile, he prods me gently. If I can't find a way to write, he makes a way.
