Rhina: Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean a great deal to me. AND thank you for quoting "For a Student" from _Calypso_ and bringing to my attention that I must have sent that poem off to Scienter Press before it was finished!! Clearly the 'knife of perfection was not being held to my throat' when I proofed the galleys. Lines 3 and 4 are actually me at work on line 4. Here's what the final version of lines 3 and 4 actually are:
Each word as careful as a first caress,
Each fine point torn out of your heart’s distress.
At least I finally got line 4 to scan.
