Hi Lisa...I am so happy to hear about you working on a new manuscript. I love your wriitng and can't wait for your next project!

a follow-up to this poem is an excellent idea...I have always wondered what happened to the child and to the mother...

Lisa, I hope you do not mind me saying that you allowed me to read the rough draft of your follow-up poem and I must say it is poignantly written!

I cannot wait to read the final version of that poem and your new manuscript...take care!
