I am eternally grateful to these poets and I could never thank them enough.

Maybe I will do that too, with the first two blurbs. At least it will distract me from worrying about the last one!

One of the poets I approached, agreed to at least take a look at my book. So over the next few weeks, I kept worrying that they probably hated it and were trying to forget that I ever showed it to them.

Another poet agreed right when I asked, so over the next few weeks, I was worrying about if my book was more wacko than they could have ever expected.

Fortunately, everything turned out better than I hoped. I think I’ll start posting those blurbs and why these poets have meant so much to me and my writing, throughout the week.
