Arrow --- you have had a huge impact on many of us with your incisive responses to our poems, your great good humour, your open and passionate heart, your generous encouragement, your courage. You are a great friend to poetry and poets. For these reasons, I will treasure your book. And more—because the poems within it testify to a life committed to life, every single bitter, beautiful twist and turn of it.
Heartfelt congratulations, dearest Arrow, and may this book find a way into many hands.
