Dear Readers,

My poem You Night was published in Vita Brevis Poetry Anthology, III and you can read it here.

Have a glorious spring everyone.

Congratulations Dearest Gabriela and to be nominated for a Pushcart Prize, is such an honor! You have my vote! I love this poem and with lines like, ” A bat-eyed wind blew, and the earth turned toward itself.
And I thought to myself: you night, how painful you are.” I think you have an exceptionally good chance of sweeping away the judges. Big hugs and wishing you all the success in the world.
You are so king my fabulous friend. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I am glad you love the poem and please know your vote means a lot. I am honored to have it.
Lots of love to you hon.
Much love to you too my talented friend โค๏ธ
โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Congratulations! You deserve it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words Annette.

This is more than just a poem about nature. Divine!
(You my dear, how unique you are.)
I am not unique. YOU ARE.
I am glad you enjoyed the poem Bo.
Big kiss for little B and lots of love to you.
Ok, we both are. Like that book, My Brilliant Friend. (Hope you read it.)
I didn’t. But now I have to.
A friend bought it as a gift, and that’s how I discovered Elena Ferrante. Then I found all other sequels on pdf. Her style is excellent, and she’s a real mystery. She uses a pseudonym and nb knows what she looks like. I’m currently watching the series, which is a real pleasure too.
You’ll find all four books here:
https://www.pdfdrive.com/the-neapolitan-novels-my-brilliant-friend-the-story-of-a-new-name-those-who-leave-and-those-who-stay-the-story-of-the-lost-child-e195137615.html
Bo, thank you so much for telling me this and sending the link. I cannot wait to read her work. Honestly, I need something new. So thank you again. You’re a gem.
xoxo
You’re welcome, hon. She’s been a real refreshment. Serious, but somehow light, don’t know how to explain it. Though she covers serious issues, she’s not depressing. Love at first read, really.
You just explained it. “Love at first read.” This sounds beautiful.
xoxo
You know Bo, it’s funny. Apparently her date of birth and her nationality are known. Yet nobody knows her name. Anyway, I am looking forward to reading her work. Thank you again.
A Slovenian friend living in Italy, who also loves her, tells me recently there have been assumptions that it’s a he, which we both very much doubt. Such a thing could be written only by a woman. Period.
Btw, I’m always a bit suspicious of best-sellers. This one proved me wrong, obviously.
And yes, you can find each novel on that site, instead of reading all 4 in 1. Just search the title in a search box. I find it easier that way.
Hugs.
Two minutes ago, for some weird reason, I thought the same thing: it got to be a man. But I did not read anything yet so…
“Btw, Iโm always a bit suspicious of best-sellers” That’s a lot to be said here. It will make a great topic for a private conversation.
“And yes, you can find each novel on that site, instead of reading all 4 in 1. Just search the title in a search box. I find it easier that way.”
I found them already. Thank you again Bo.
Have a great night and a good week ahead.
xoxo
Thanks, baby. You too.

De rien. To be honest I am kind of smitten too ๐
How can you not be? Enjoy, hon, you’ve deserved it. It’s a brilliant poem (cross my heart).
