Extraordinary, Conny. I am there in every possible sense. And “squinting through mizzle” is going to stick with me! You and Melanie are absolutely kindred spirits in your approach; I will definitely check out her book.

Thank you for writing and sharing your inspiring poetry, Melanie. I would be lost without good examples and strive to meet such high standards.
