It's great to know about your book. I am very sure it is one of those that could be read over and again because of the silky feeling it leaves on the the tongue. I can say because that's what all your poems do :) But, is ita available in India?

[Patricia Wedel]

Richard... does your Book have Sonnets...
I will check at Barnes and Noble...
perhaps the perfect Christmas gift to myself
that could put a golden lining on my own
poetry. I am a Novice in the art and form of poetry. truly, Pat

[Richard 🍃]

How lovely of you, Pat,
To drop-in for a look-see of my excellent book.
Seems one of my purchasers commented that 35 out of the 145 poems are Sonnets … I hope that's sufficient for your interest.
What a wonderful idea to treat yourself to one of my first editions … I know you'll love every minute of it held in your hands, with its warm, thick suede-like feel.
There are many poems and forms to enjoy and learn from, and to add that golden lining in your own poetic repertoire.
I will be sincerely honored to know you will have your own edition of my book amongst the other fine volumes in your personal library.

Order yours directly from me and I will personalize it for you in my own hand, and ship it to you for free.

Bless you, Pat, with a most wonderful week … hugs! ⁓ Richard 🍃

It is entirely my pleasure. I have it now and simply enthralled by your writing. I hope more people do the same and get a copy of their own. One day I hope to combine some of my children’s poetry into book form. You are an inspiration!
