Thanks to Patrice of Casa Azul Gifts for her generosity and genuine care for poetic and artistic expression, and to Olan for his wonderful support.

Thanks to Lana Maht Wiggins for being a good “partner” tonight and always-friend.

Thanks to my husband and daughter who love me as I am and let me become more.

Thanks to Cindy for being with us tonight, even if it was brief–time with you will always be too brief.

Thanks to Lian for the lovely and inspired poem she wrote for me on the fly!

Thanks to friends–Amy, Jo Anne, Christine–and if I am forgetting anyone I apologize.

Glad to make new friends too!

It was a lovely night with excellent hosts, a full moon and good friends. Perfect conditions for a night of reading and listening to poetry…
