Your prose is something more than novelistic writing. I don't like that sentence, but I'm leaving it.

With 20/20 hindsight, people realize that there are always questions that either should have been asked or should have been skipped. Were their questions you would have rather ignored?

I think they just snipped it a little bit on reprint. Do we call it reprint online? What do we call it, I wonder?

Fortunately, I do think we linked to the beautiful artwork in the original book review. As for the subtitles, I'm afraid that might be my doing as I was stuck on our discussion of "advice" and your poetry students. I'm guessing your workshops would be sold out if you had more time to give them! Thank you again for your time,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935218885912940981noreply@blogger.com
