Great poem, Martin, and huge congratulations.

I love the Editor's note:

"Don't poem and drive, people."

Jayne

Well done, Martin!

Congrats Martin! Best of luck.

Matt

Well deserved, Martin. I hope you win one.

Mike, Gregory (fellow nutmeger), Jayne, Ralph, Matt, and Charlie - Many thanks!

Believe it or not, this was my second Pushcart nomination. The first was from the late Paul Stevens for a poem (“Talcott Mountain”) that appeared in The Chimaera. It was later published in Soundzine, where there is a recording of Paul reading it.

Both poems were workshopped here. My heartfelt thanks to all of you good folks who helped me polish them up.

Congrats and well deserved!

Martin, Congratulations on the nomination, and best of luck!

Martin's unique voice and talent is on display again at Autumn Sky today.

Well done.

Cheers,
Greg

Tom and Catherine - Many thanks! I’m grateful for your encouragement.

And Gregory - thanks for the announcement.

Some of you may remember “The Barking of the Dog” from being workshopped at Met. Thanks again for all your responses, which were quite helpful.

And last but not least, thanks to Christine Klocek-Lim for liking my work. :)
