How 25 million years ago insects hadn't yet taken wing, so could only climb and lovely the beetle's small green shine reflecting a garden where everything is green budding before leaf. How leathery the flowers must be to survive. Insect legs scrabbling and swoon on the one hand that burrowing deep at heart perfume. If you haven't noticed ghost apples before, it's not a surprise. They're extremely rare and very fleeting
Hi, Catherine. Congratulations on the publication of the book. Do you mind sharing a link to the book? If you can just add it as a comment in your reply file and just copy paste it there. I would love to check it out. And thank you for sharing these beautiful poems. I really enjoyed listening to them, and I'm looking forward to the book

And to answer your question, more and more I notice my own skin. My skin is something I notice because it's changing so much different seasons. It gets dry and it's less dry, but I have more blemishes, more spots, more crinkles, more relational aspects to it that connect me to my years. And and I'm noticing it more and more. So that's my admission to

I thank you, erish for suggesting that I copy a link into this reply so that people can find ghost Apples. I've put in a link to ghost Apples at my publisher, where it can be ordered directly, but I always also encourage people to buy books from their favorite local independent bookseller. Thanks so much
Hi, Katharine. Thanks for sharing the link to the website. I could not buy it from the red and web store. I think the ecommerce site is not working. It's gone out of commission or it's not enabled. So I did what every lazy person would do, is just buy it on Amazon. I have added a link here for the Amazon website for your book, if anybody wants to buy it. And I hope to get my copy soon. I will let you know

I just wanted to say congratulations on your publication and thank you for sharing those poems. I'm not a poem person. I maybe wrote poems when I was a teenager, and I definitely don't read that type of book. But you caught me and you got me interested, and so job complete. You did well
You. Wow. I just love this response so much, and it's something that I wasn't expecting to hear at all. It's completely sort of sideways from my particular experience or view, except that I share with you an obsession with shoes, and I'm constantly looking at people's footwear, and I care a lot about my own footwear, so we absolutely have that in common. Thanks so much for listening, and thanks for weighing in. I really enjoyed this
And the truth is that one of the reasons that I have my hair the way it is, which requires no combs and no paying attention whatsoever, is that I was really tired of spending time being arrested by mirrors and needing to do something about my hair. Especially as I was developing my craft, which really required me to turn my noticing inwards to my thoughts and my emotions and at the same time outwards to the world that I was observing
Oh well, erish thanks for letting me know. I am going to hop on my email and let the publisher know right away. Hopefully they will want to get that fixed. Meanwhile, thanks for finding the book any way you could
Find the Redhead press link again. I think and hope this one will work. Thanks so much
