The whole “for me, to read poetry is to be still…” paragraph is very nice.

Seriously. I preserved the page for posterity. But it certainly was not personal, since it had neither my name, nor the editors’ names …

I read your first paragraph twice, thinking at first that the john-the-baptist-head-on-the-platter cartoon was a joke. Seriously?
Someone once told me not take rejection letters personally and I could not help thinking “surely, you are not a poet.”

Sometimes I envy that little porch beside the pond, and the path under trees. The quiet and space for walking and being still. The country has some enviable advantages to suburban life.
