Damn, that second to last stanza from beyond personal, straight to the heart! And I love your photographs. What is it about poets and taking good pics?
I read these the other day and needed to go back a second time. Very strong and powerful, though the one that most touched and disturbed me was the first, because it is lovely, shows as much of you as it does the person who inspired the poem, and because I know who the subject is and am saddened that this has happened.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to reading these at the next reading! (I think I've been wanting to write "... Beyond the Personal" for a long time.)

Thanks Iris. I appreciate the sentiment and care. Our aim is to get back out in the kayak this summer. I am pleased with these poems....
And you should be very pleased with these poems. Please say hi for me.
