"This whole marketing/art thingy"...Robyn,<br />"This whole marketing/art thingy" would have been a MUCH better title for my post!<br /><br />Buffy--I wrestled with that ending because the word Believe has been cliche and cloying...but I liked putting it near the words Make Believe...<br /><br />Esther, thank you--I do believe in my flood book and do know Jane's flood book. It's always good to know we've got cheerleaders!<br /><br />Rosi,yes, they are reading...and poetry fits the short streams of info we're reading more and more. And thanks for checking to see that my book's checked out of your library!<br /><br /><br />April Halprin Waylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10760393691320267240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-5840058884318189082014-06-27T22:45:55.003-05:002014-06-27T22:45:55.003-05:00Thanks for a post full of hope.

I think people are still reading, and reading poetry, because it is checked out of my local library.
