Frustration I Can Live With Now And Then
Writers tend to be sensitive souls. Over the years I have cited various poets and writers, written to them as well. It is always an honor to hear back. I just received an email from Nicholas Samaras, who said he was "deeply humbled" to have been cited on my blog. He informed me that his goal is to write 150 psalms and he is presently at 131. Wow. He thanked me for my encouragement. The ones that I saw were quite remarkable (that's the word I used when I cited them the first time - it just seems right). The editors of a major literary journal thought highly of them as well. Image is quality.
The two poems I cited from Mr. Samaras can be found here and here.
