THE FLESH OF POETRY

What a blessing. Thank you to Cynthia over at PoemFlesh2 for caring about my poems, specifically the ones in my BRICK--Cynthia interviews me and features two poems....but I'm also moved by the action in the comments section. And it all began from reading my poems -- that's a true gift.
