I have The Quilt of Holes on my computer from 2007. I notice you have copyrighted a very similar version in 2009. Do you have any idea who wrote the original?
Despite your being a 'prolific' poet, your poems are truly poetic - some of the best that have crossed my path so far on this site!
p.s i read a pearl of irritation and a smokers pledge-you hit the nail on the head.
i give them both a 10
