J...Thank you all for adding to the conversation. <br /><br />Jennifer--I'm happy I inspired you.<br /><br />Michael-- That is wonderful and so good to hear. Thank you for sharing that.<br /><br />Collin-- Yay you!<br /><br />Shannon-- I like that buying 2. There will always be a birthday of someone coming up and what's a nicer gift than a book signed by the author (and inscribed?!)<br />And I loved this from BatteredHive--<br /><br />On another note, my name often makes editors assume that I am a woman, so I get a lot of acceptance/rejection letters addressed to Ms. or Mrs. (admittedly, way more in the rejection category). Now, I can console myself that it might not have been a reflection of the quality of my writing...I was probably just getting shut out of the old boys network, along with some of you!<br /><br />****Ah, the gift of non-gender specific names that lean toward feminine. The gift that keeps giving.<br /><br />;-)Kelli Russell Agodon - Book of Kellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798460634708905783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-78751022631352118522011-03-13T18:04:10.824-07:002011-03-13T18:04:10.824-07:00Thank you Kells, I needed to read this!Thank you Kells, I needed to read this!Chef Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198603107302675448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-33861579051379117162011-03-08T10:10:18.967-08:002011-03-08T10:10:18.967-08:00Wow.

But I've never selected a book based on the gender of the poet, only on the content; whether it moves me.

Sometimes I buy two and send one to my sister. It's a great way to build the library, to learn from others, and to see what people are publishing these days.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270396127498411004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-34450189176386315882011-03-07T19:31:50.043-08:002011-03-07T19:31:50.043-08:00After organizing monthly poetry readings for the p...After organizing monthly poetry readings for the past three years, I have been happy to find that there are plenty of good female poets to go around. <br /><br />On another note, my name often makes editors assume that I am a woman, so I get a lot of acceptance/rejection letters addressed to Ms. or Mrs. (admittedly, way more in the rejection category).
