Thanks for commenting. I’m glad I waited to read your and the others’ blurbs until after I was done writing this — y’all said it so much better than I did!

Is Walt under-appreciated? That’s a shame. But to my way of thinking, nearly all poets are under-appreciated in American society, so it’s par for the course.

Nice job – a collection worth celebrating! Interesting that you compared this with Jeff Walt, another under-appreciated poet in my opinion who illuminates and dissects class issues in an interesting and intelligent way.
