β€œWoman is a triumphant collection of poetry. Milton explores with sincerity and great craft the many faces of identity and womanhood. This is the sort of poetry collection that will resonate with any reader.”

Brian Geiger, editor of Vita Brevis Press

  7. I am overjoyed to read this Gabriela! Congratulations! I have not been up to date with WP posts, but so very happy that I came across your post here.

    1. Gina! So good to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words. I missed you. Everyone ok?

      1. Yes I have been away for awhile and have missed you too and your beautiful poetry. Everyone is doing ok here, we are well and safe, making the best of this surreal times. Hope you are keeping well too. So happy to see your poems published soon.

      2. Yes, times are surreal. I am so glad to hear everyone is ok. I truly missed you Gina. I am well, thank you. Perhaps more that a year ago I asked Winnie about you. She said you may be on Instagram. Then Winnie vanished.
        Are you back for good this time? Are you going to bring us back the magic of your writings?

      3. Its so good to hear that you have been keeping well, I do get alarmed when those I have been in touch with suddenly disappear, so I understand what you mean. Work at the hospital has kept me really busy and I have been away from social media since January. I hope to write more and read more of my fave writers and try to be more present here, time permitting. Thank you for your kind words, though you are the one with the magical pen and beautiful sensitive poetry. Take care dear Gabriela, I really appreciate the warmth of your words and thoughts.

      4. I forgot about the hospital. Oh, Gina, you are one of our heroes. I am doubly happy you are well. You are an angel. I am sure lots of people think so. Thank you again. I hope you will be back. Take care. Stay safe.
        xoxoxo…
