Eric, I’m glad I came across your site. When I have more time I’ll read through more of your extensive information. Thanks for being such a resource. I will put you on my blogroll. If you have the time, I’d love some feedback on my blog. It’s listed as Rich Poetry here on WordPress.
Also, are you up for an interview? If so, I’d like to pick your brain a bit for my blog and the members of my local Poet Society.
Later,
Porterfield
