Wow! Glad you enjoyed the poems. Blessings!!<br /><br />W&W, when I was at your blog I was hoping you'd stop by and read these poems. They're amazing, aren't they?? It's one thing to feel pain and despair, but then to have another speak of it so familiarly and eloquently, well, to me, it just reaffirms my belief in LIFE and happiness. A paradox, to be sure! LOL! You are so going to enjoy that book. It's one of those books which 'weights me here to the earth' as she so aptly put it in last poem. Blessings to you, and JOY!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-1327984726790855032009-07-13T15:10:14.138-05:002009-07-13T15:10:14.138-05:00WOW!

Blessings!<br /><br />Margaret, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I've pretty much got my bookaholism under control, but I miss buying poetry books. I still peruse the used book stores, but there's seldom any poetry there. (I have almost 200 books of poetry....you'd think that would be enough, but noooooo!) LOL! The heat index is 110 today. Yikes! I'll be indoors for sure. Bless you!<br /><br />Rick, she very much sounds like one of us---the abyss peekers---we who ofetn stand with our naked toes clutching the sides of that bottomless, slippery black hole and gaze and gaze and gaze, wondering..... Oh, Rick!! You make me want to keep on keeping on. Thank you for being you! Hang in there, friend!

It's one of my favorite poems of all time---probably because I always have a pile (or 3 or 4 piles) beside my bed and chair to be read. I almost put it at the top after I re-discovered it thumbing through the book, but it didn't fit with the mood of the others, so I just lightened up as I went along. LOL! <br /><br />Blessings!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-70073406955510779192009-07-12T16:21:21.559-05:002009-07-12T16:21:21.559-05:00Wonderful!!

Pastan, who feeds my feelings of despair and yet at the same time, paradoxically, heals me. It's why I love poetry so much. It's spiritual medicine.

Thank you!<br /><br />I started the first 3 thinking "too sad, too sad" for this juncture in my life, and then came upon "A New Poet". How ironic.. how many new poets have you introduced me to...20, 50, a legion?<br /><br />And then to close with the diving "Bookstall"...<br /><br />again, thank you.<br /><br />quidquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954222271507913856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-20790284566988081292009-07-12T14:19:18.441-05:002009-07-12T14:19:18.441-05:00Oh, Marion!
