Early this morning I read Alex's e-mail telling me my MS had been chosen for publication. I was thrilled beyond words.
I have many people to thank for this, not least of all Alex, who has maintained this site for so long, without which many of my poems would never have reached the "final revision" stage, thanks to the generous comments and suggestions of my esteemed fellow poets.
I also owe a world of gratitude to Rhina Espaillat who encouraged me and who steered me to the Eratosphere, which I had never heard of at the time; also Alicia Stallings who wrote in her critique of my very first posted poem at "Metrical" that it was worthy of the "Deep End" ; and Timothy Murphy, who has been an inspiration over the years.
A full-length collection is truly my dream-come-true. I feel honored that Able Muse Press has seen fit to accept it for publication.

This is a great announcement. I have "mentored" Wendy and Cathy for a decade. But Wendy is young enough biologically to be my daughter, and Cathy is my exact contemporary. I remember though, as if it were yesterday, Alan Sullivan's excitement at their arrivals at the Sphere. "You have to read this woman," he would shout.
Cathy's is an extremely conservative form of verse, rhymed pentameter in the main. Wendy's is a radical form of verse which can only be compared to Kay Ryan.
When I was a kid I figured out the two most important things that would occur in my life would be for women to reach equality with men and for China to reach equality with the West. Forty years later, looks like I was right on both.
I want to extend my heartiest congratulations to Wendy Videloth and Cathy Chandler on their first trade press publications, and I want to thank Alex for choosing these two beautiful manuscripts as his debut volumes. yr lariat, Timothy

It will be a pleasure to have both these books, by people whose work I've come to know over the last few months. Cathy, did I miss what yours will be called?
