back to the Inkwell

Oooh! Barbara Groce (The Dancing Years), and Mary Oliver (who has written so many books that I can't name them all). I've always said I wanted to be the next Mary Oliver!

Rosebud! You will be the next Mary Oliver yet! Your work is so fantastic, and I so want you to follow your dreams! You rock! Oh, and um I really like Alan Poe's things. Even though half the time I don't understand a lick! You both (Rosebud and Arin) are supercalafragilisticexpealadocious! (I can't spell)

I'm not sure. For a while I liked Emily Dickonson.

Yay! Arin! I haven't heard from you in... years? Quite possibly. 

I love Sylvia Plath!
