Cathy, I just knew you were the other one. I felt it in my bones.
Much deserved. I am really happy for you.

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

Response to Alex Pepple.
Well they both "mentor" me right back, my friend. They've just been unfailing friends for years. I hope you'll have an opportunity to do Maryann next. John Beaton and Stephen Collington too! When I came to the Sphere, Alex, 10970 posts ago, some of them written dead drunk, only Alicia and I had trade books, and look where we are today. Of course we've recruited Rhina and Sam and John Whitworth who have a score of books among them. Heck, I've got ten now, once Lewis and Clark gets done with me. And certainly Alan would be cheering these first two collections.
You've done an amazing thing, Alex. You're sort of the Diagilev of Poetry. Tim
