Siham, Ed, John, Andrew, Jean, Thanks for your kind words. You know, Jean, a family members also said her favorite is "Joy Ride", but of course she rode her bike down Beaumont hill, too! And Ed, I'll be reading two of the poems you mention at WCU in June ("Matryoshka" and "For the Man on Mansfield Street"). It's so wonderful to hear readers' favorites and their reactions! I'd love to hear from more of you, too!

Thanks so much.

Cathy
