Here's a link to Rhina being her charming self at her Able Muse reading last September.

She has poured her good heart and good mind not only into her wonderful poems, but also into the poetry-loving communities she has founded and nurtured.

Happy birthday, dear Rhina!

Happy, Happy, Rhina. You were the first one who greeted me and made me feel welcome when I stumbled into a local workshop about twenty years ago,
and have continued as an aid and inspiration. Your joy in poetry is contagious.

Happy birthday to a poet whose work will always be important to me. Hers are poems I go back to often, often. I've been wishing Rhina happiness on this birthday on every forum I can, and I'm glad to see a thread here, too.

Smile Happy Birthday, Rhina!
To Rhina, with fond memories of our conversations at various conferences,

May this be the happiest of all birthdays for you. I'll always treasure my copy of Agua de Dos Ríos, and I promise my Spanish will get better!

Ted
