Tim, I want to thank you again for coming up with this idea. It's been a joy to say a few things about these five distinguished poems!
My thanks to the poets--Susan, Janet, Jim, Bill Daugherty and Bill Baurle--for giving me open door privileges this way into such good work. I look forward to seeing more by all five of you. To those who still cling to the notion that formal verse "limits" the poet, I issue an invitation to visit these poems; they are sufficient answer.
My thanks, also, to all the 'Sphereans who visited the site to comment and advise as well as enjoy; you added greatly to the pleasure, and to the revision process that may still be underway for these poets, and to my own learning.
