Many wonderful links to explore, and I am humbled that you include a couple referencing moi and my blog. You are becoming known in this virtual world for your generosity of spirit as much as for your many talents.<br /><br />Thank you as well Lorenzo for the link on your sidebar. It seems to be attracting readers daily. How will you ever keep up with this bourgeonning popularity? You must protect your time for your art.

They are of your same spirit of generously spotlighting the work of others, and your work here is worthy of another spotlight, Bonnie's and now Sandy and Pam's. The three posts you linked of yours are a great introduction to your poetry, humor and portrayals of Spanish culture, and you offer much more besides, of jazz history and education, family history, and art.<br /><br />The movie on ED already has me hooked, thanks to this video. Thank you also for telling us about Writing Without Paper, which is also a wealthy resource.<br /><br />Congratulations, on these recognitions!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-2037858018832578082010-10-06T00:48:51.741+02:002010-10-06T00:48:51.741+02:00I am currently reading Emily Dickinson

This daughter is actually going on the guided inside and outside tour as part of one of her elective courses, and doesn't much care, isn't life ironic sometimes?<br /><br />I'm hoping to get there again soon . In the meantime I've much to learn . <br /><br />thank you , again, for a wonderful post. <br />and congratulations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-9542117679787772232010-10-05T23:55:14.239+02:002010-10-05T23:55:14.239+02:00HI Lorenzo - lovely post... and nice recognition o...HI Lorenzo - lovely post... and nice recognition of your beautiful writing. <br /><br />I live about a half hour by car from Amherst, and look forward to seeing the film. Interestingly, as I watched the video, I saw a familiar hill-top in the distance in the painting of Dickinson in front of the window. I see the other side of the farthest peak on my commute to teach and it seems to have manifested itself in recent painting I did - a very recognizable form. <br /><br />Autumnal blessings from the forest!Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-62836433496713775252010-10-05T22:17:54.664+02:002010-10-05T22:17:54.664+02:00I checked out WOW thanks to you, and still think t...I checked out WOW thanks to you, and still think the Tertuliante posting has "legs", to be sure.
