Merry and bright

This year, for some reason, I am feeling particularly grateful for this odd little virtual community here. I've never met most of you who read and comment on this blog (and whose blogs I read and comment on), and probably will never meet many of you. But a bunch of you have come to feel like a real presence in my life, voices I look forward to hearing from every so often. I've been introduced to some damn good poets and poems, and some of you make me laugh a heck of a lot.
Many thanks, friends. And whether or not you celebrate Christmas, I hope this winter day finds you in a warm, comfortable, well-fed place, with people you care about.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year!

I'm still waiting for the FAWC pre-registration schedule.

Soon, I hope! Soon! :)

Anne,

I share the same feeling of gratitude & community, a new blogger myself. And I am delighted to have discovered your work!

May 2007 bring you many blessings in your creative life!

It's been a pleasure getting to virtually know you, Anne. I hope we can do real time at AWP if you come down. Happy New Year!

Thanks, all!

William - I'm waiting too! I hope the change in directorship there won't mean any change in the summer program. Don't know if I'll be able to make it this year, but I do hope to.

Brent - Welcome! I just spent some time poking around your blog & will definitely be back.

Collin - I still haven't decided for sure about AWP (mostly money questions) but I'll let you know!
