Congratulations on getting your poems into an anthology. That is quite an accomplishment. I order from Amazon every month, and I may buy it. Did they reproduce your poem on the back correctly? It seems to me it would make more sense if the word "with" was "of". thankyuuu Perry f...

Hi Lotus,

Nice to see you around. I like the idea of art as something very self-conscious, and also the use of ‘occult quote’.

It’s an interesting read.

Cheers,

Tristan
