Thank you for telling us about this review, Robert. I really enjoyed reading Leigh’s insights and pointing out the landmarks in this landscape of your writing and chapbook. I continue to be quietly inspired on some formerly sleepy layer of my own being with your continued offerings and humble fortitude as you share your passion through poetry.
