Was it for this group or for a V O E critique session? Isaid, at that time, that I wouldn’t change anything and that still stands. This is exquisite and very moving.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Marcia: Change “youngest” to “younger” since you have only two daughters. This says so much in so few words. Honest and compelling. I like the use of “intruder” with “civic duty.” Was this call the first one? Were you and your family offered any help following later calls or just checked up on? Were you ever afraid authorities might try to place your daughters in care?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Leonard: I love the way the poem takes the reader right into the experience by using vivid descriptions. There is such a sense of elation as the poem closes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cleora:Good information but you need to jump in at the beginning about the book without all the author info. Not sure about how to handle bibliographic citation. Maybe a link to purchasing site? Nice tie-in to previous books but not certain what you mean about being safe to read this final entry in series.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
