The only true gift is a portion of thyself."<br />-Emerson<br />It seems your impulses (for lack of a better word)are just reacting to the authentic season of givingliznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717221249845341165.post-9427168951641136002009-12-12T17:03:48.500-08:002009-12-12T17:03:48.500-08:00Thanks Beth.

I have already published one of them (it isn't out yet though) and entered two of them in a contest, but I will take your advice not to send out any more for a little while. I am still in the process of talking to an artist about collaboration with me on a chapbook and I still have one more poem to write. Thank you for being a patient and willing reader.Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717221249845341165.post-80633439871765807502009-12-12T15:02:16.337-08:002009-12-12T15:02:16.337-08:00HAPPY HANNUKAH!

Whatever occurred with Mr. Iyengar, he has served his purpose as the ear into which you've poured these very beautiful poems. Because these poems have emerged quickly and recently, you might consider letting them cool a little before you seek public readers. Whatever you do, please just know that I have been deeply honored to read all of them.Lounoreply@blogger.com
