Dear Michael, It's always a pleasure to read your work. I love the way you write in so many different styles and voices, how your work is always true to itself - the word I am searching for is integrity. You have it in spades! Thank you for your wisdom and for this gleaming jewel of a poem! Warm regards, Hugh
