Galatea Resurrects ( a poetry review )

What's this about me not being authorized to look at my own blog page? Well, the past two days have been filled with babysitting. Two of my friends are substitute teachers and when they teach, they sometimes need a place to park their babies.

Winter is almost over, spring is in the air, the crocuses are coming up and Galatea Resurrects ( a poetry review ) has been launched quite successfully.

Congratulations to the hardworking Chatelaine who never wearies in her endeavours to promote and spread poetry love.

Here's a list of review contents. I am proud to be part of this first inaugural issue....also groaning because my list of books I would like to buy is growing by the minute. My husband swears we'll have to buy another bookcase to fit in all the new books coming into the house and he foresees having to rebuild the attic, not to create extra space for himself ( as he'd originally planned ), but to make space for a future wherein he envisions more books coming into the house. Oh well, I say to him, perhaps this is why our son's strongest point is language. It seems almost inevitable that he too will be writing someday.

But before I go babbling on...to visit the reviews you have to go to: Galatea Resurrects ( a poetry review )
