For the overall look of professionalism, I want to give a small heads up here:
It's a small thing, but even small things can add to the big picture.

Having got that off my chest, I'm looking forward to holding a copy of Catherine's poetry. Her offerings on this site have always impressed me. Congrats, madame! :)

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words and support!

Cathy

Thanks, Chiago, for pointing them out. They're type errors introduced by the site HTML coding tools--they've been fixed along with others I ferreted out. And, the book itself is (typographically) error-free!

Cheers,
...Alex

Beautiful, Cathy! Congratulations, and I look forward to reading this.
Best,
Siham

It's arrived, and it's a handsome book. I'm diving in. See you in a day or so.

Ed

Warm congratulations, Cathy. I've just placed my order.

John

Congrats, Cathy, I'm looking forward to it!

I've been treating this book badly. I've been carrying Lines of Flight around with me for the last week or so, as it's a pleasure to keep dipping back into it. I won't list my favorite poems, because there are so many and they keep jockeying for position. Thank you, Cathy -- this is a lovely read.


Ed

Cathy--

Now that I have my copy I must congratulate you again. I had trouble not reading the whole book all at once, each poem such a thought-provoking pleasure that I didn't want to stop. Unlike Ed, I'm going to name a favorite: I keep going back to "Joy Ride," wondering how you knew my childhood (and how it resonates now) so well!

A terrific accomplishment.

Best,
Jean

I would've named 'Joy Ride,' too, with its great last line, except for 'Writ,' 'Caesura,' Fatuity,' 'To the Man on Mansfield Street,' 'When in Lourdes,' 'Matryoshka' and, oh, half a dozen other bits and pieces. Jean has it right, though. A lovely, lovely book!
