Shostakovich In Nebraska Comments

I think this is stunning. Simply wrought, yet with eloquence and poise. Regards, Stephen Parnell

andy's as good a judge of poems as any and his words on this are spot-on.

I enjoyed both of this evening's postings of yours, but preferred this poems evocative imagery to the stark despair of your dysfunctional family. The images really worked in the mind of this midwesterner.

Pretty much agree with the first two poets.

I really love this one! My New York friends think there is nothing to America between Manhatten and Las Angeles. You have nailed that part of the country to a 'T.' I keep trying to put New Mexico on the map but hardly anyone listens. Well done. I especially love 'land of football and beef and easy handshakes.' Good folks there. Raynette
