[Aaron Poochigian]

The National Review has accepted my poem "Incarnate," workshopped here. Thanks for the help.

I especially want to thank Walter for pushing me to come up with "sheath of youth" in the penultimate line and Roger for telling me to go with the simple, straightforward final line: "Believe me. Don't believe me. It's the truth."

This is the one time I will rhyme youth/truth. I'm done now.
