Paul, what a lovely and inspiring collection of 5 Things! I am particularly entranced by the music recommendation--thank you.

As to hearing you read your work out loud I still have memories of your sharing lo, these many years ago, at the Writers Connection in Beaverton (?) reading from "The Face of the Deep." I took it off the shelf to re read a few weeks ago. What a book!

Paul. I can’t wait to read your new poetry. That defining imagery is some I both hate and love, for reasons I bet you can imagine. I imagine in your words I’ll feel freer to love the hope rather than setting it down for being too heavy.

This is so lovely!! Thoroughly enjoyed reading. I might get that tobacco for my husband for Christmas, he enjoys a good pipe smoke :)

Oh so happy to hear about your forthcoming collection!

And I've put Megan Perry Fisher into my Spotify. That's exactly what I like to write to.

October is my favorite month. I recently moved back to the Pacific Northwest after a fifty year absence. I am reabsorbing all that I can. It is bliss. Thank you for this. I may take up the pipe.
