hiChristine - do you know sandy yanone and her wonderful Cultivating Voices on line poetry meetings - they showcase new books for people who come from time to time - I'm sure they would showcase yours too if you come and see how it works out
Thanks Sylvia. I found her group on facebook. She is the poet laureate of Old Saybrook, CT, right down the road! Who knew. I'll be sure to contact her. Thanks for being my across the pond marketing dept!!!
Writing about a relationship with a mother is so complex. I am doing so from a very different perspective and in a novel, rather than poems, but I agree that you write when you are ready. There's so much to express that sometimes it has to be done between the lines.
Writing in the basement with a blindfold on. What could go wrong? Set your fingers one key to the right and you end up with gibberish. Maybe that can be fixed in revision, though.
Looking forward to your book. Where is it available?
I hope Christine lets me be a fly on the wall (w/o a fly swatter in the house) at her dinner party. I'm looking forward to reading the poems in "Given Time" again! Vivian Shipley
Thanks Sylvia. I do know John Donne is misspelled. I noticed just as I hit “send”. I’m sure I overlooked other errors as well. I give myself a Monday deadline and often rush.
Great post, Christine! I'll be stealing some of those questions for my upcoming Q&A with Carlyn Montes De Oca! ❤️ And what a brilliant way to introduce your own book to your readers. 👏

I'm in a lot of poetry groups that would benefit you

So true. Good luck with your work!

I’ll make another exception and invite you too. Now we’re up to 5.
interesting read - I look forward to reading the poems themselves - piece needs editing still though xxxxx

not so many but more than that one - and it doesn't spoil the read for me but it can for others
