[Gail White]

Jeff, I tried to send you a PM but it didn't take. Just offering congratulations and wondering if you would be at West Chester?

[Jeff Holt]

Thanks Gail! No, I'm afraid I can't afford even the plane ticket to West Chester this year because I decided to accept the invitation to go to the Village in Manhattan and be a featured reader at the Carmine Metrics series, along with Nicholas Friedman. It was wonderful! Though I will miss West Chester, and will certainly be planning ahead this coming year to make it to the 20th anniversary year.

Also, I have probably told you this, but I thoroughly love your "Sonnets in a Hostile World." I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Jeff
