Congrats Don - It must be a good feeling.

Hey well done Don! Must be a great feeling to (1) not only be published, but (2) be recognised as worthy to be a reference to the public...

[Don Schaeffer]

To be honest, I gave a couple of copies to the public library. They didn't buy them. Thanks Smarti and Shuttertalk.

My wife is a librarian, and she has some unexpected insight into this. According to her, poetry is almost unique in that books of poems are rarely borrowed from a library. Apparently, poetry books are usually purchased by their owners and kept indefinately.

Not sure if this qualifies as good or bad news, Don...

Congrats!

[Don Schaeffer]

Toad: It's not news. I gave the books to the library just so I could have the joy of seeing it in the library. Lol.

Thank you Adam

You should have had the binder made twice as thick. Then you would have had twice the pleasure of seeing it in the library.

I also like your #3 abstract plants, red, blue, green, like somebodies flag.

Thanks NT73

Congratulations Don! I hadn't known you wrote a book. Wow!

[Don Schaeffer]

Thanks Guerito--all poetry (61 poems) published in June.
