Reading the poems of members on the Youngleaves.com site is a superb idea. Often we do not get the flavor of a poet’s work from what appears in GEPPO; then again, that is not the purpolse of GEPPO, as I understand it. These Poets’ Pages are therefore a very fine, useful, and educational idea that appears to serve the Society’s purpose quite well. It was really nice to see more of your work gathered here, in one place, Joan.
