Early this morning I read Alex's e-mail telling me my MS had been chosen for publication. I was thrilled beyond words.
I have many people to thank for this, not least of all Alex, who has maintained this site for so long, without which many of my poems would never have reached the "final revision" stage, thanks to the generous comments and suggestions of my esteemed fellow poets.
I also owe a world of gratitude to Rhina Espaillat who encouraged me and who steered me to the Eratosphere, which I had never heard of at the time; also Alicia Stallings who wrote in her critique of my very first posted poem at "Metrical" that it was worthy of the "Deep End" ; and Timothy Murphy, who has been an inspiration over the years.
A full-length collection is truly my dream-come-true. I feel honored that Able Muse Press has seen fit to accept it for publication.
