I have two poems in The Amsterdam Quarterly, one of which I workshopped here, and one in First Things which I also workshopped here. Thanks to all of you who gave critique and advice. I humbly appreciate it.

Best,
Charlie.

I think sapphics is mispelled in the sub title at First Things. It is prolly the unnaturalness of the form that makes it foreign to their glossary.

Yes, Emitt, they did spell sapphic wrongly. They caught it in the hard copy though. Thanks.

Congrats, Charlie! Nice going! (A piece of advice re a different thread: try dealing with political views via apolitical poetry. You're so much better than your political rants make you out to be.)

[Bill Carpenter]

Congratulations!

[John Whitworth]

Well done. Charlie. I think Paul Lake knows what a sapphic is and how to spell it. The thing is a misprint.

[Don Jones]

Good job, Charlie. Well deserved.

Best,

Don
