And it is never really too early, or too late, to celebrate poetry month. Every month is that for me, has been for some 30 years now. And will keep pack-horsing moonbeams in my saddlebags until the old hoofs no longer move.

And a sincere thanks to “aunt Rose & uncle Dave” for giving Laura this book. Nice to meet you all like this.
