Awaiting me in the mailbox was a letter from a reader of Places and Times. It was a very nice,m personal letter. Let me share a little of it with you:
"You have a way of bringing poetry to life in the daily activities through word pictures. That is a splendid way to reach the reader's imagination."
This reader perceives what I intend to do. While poetry indeed often has great thoughts and/or emotions, poetry can also imbue ordinary things with a sense of something else. A few remarks follow about some of the poems, and it is a nice letter.
What always interests me is what readers "find" in my poems, Sometimes I nod in agreement, and at other times, I nod and think "I never thought of it that way, but it makes sense."
