From a lifetime's distance.
In such fields we see
Now we are here, arrived together,
"Stone" another poem by William Keens was put up here at MFM on 2 December. Many people told me how much they loved that poem-and I certainly did too. Mr. Keens is near to publishing a limited edition of 26 poems. "For Caroline" -which I also loved and think many will too is the first in the collection. Mr. Keens was kind enough to give us a preview here at MFM. I am looking forward to ordering the collection as soon as it comes out! I will let people who read this blog know as soon as it is published. Thanks again Willam Keens-and best of luck with your new collection-if "For Caroline" is representative of the poetry in it -I am sure it will be a huge success! I felt honored for you to stop by and comment and leave "For Caroline" for us to enjoy-all the best!

Very nice. The last post to read for the evening and that was a nice note to end the day with. Happy dreams.
Autumnforest-thanks so much for stopping by!! and I am so happy you enjoyed this-when you get a chance check out his "Stone" poem too-beautiful work!!
I was also contemplating calling it a night and was glad to see your comment-all the best to you and happy dreams also!!
You always know how to pick the the good poems Devin.
Hey Ricardo-So happy to see you here-as you can tell -no bedtime yet:-)
I am very glad you saw this -as you enjoyed "Stone" so much!!
I think it is great to get so many commnents from people here and who just know about this blog -that give so many kudos to living poets and writers-you are going to think I am crazier than you probably already do-but I feel "guided" to put the poetry here that I do-so in a way i feel i can't even take credit for that small aspect of this!
There are so many people put together commenters -and non-commenters who just loved "Stone" as I did-and I also loved this one.
Many many people also enjoyed Stephen Morrissey's "Reincarnation" poem under the 1 January 2009 entry of poetry i believe-and I appreciate Stephen and William not having any problems with me putting their work here (my mother found Stephen's "Reincarnation" poem on another site-and I say this because Stephen would generally like his work kept copyrighted to his blog or books etcetera-so it was very nice of him to let me leave "Reincarnation" on MFM as of course I would have taken it down if he would have wanted me to)
I very much look forward to ordering William Keens and Stephen Morrissey's poetry when I get my benefits-hopefully in March or April-along with a host of other authors/poets on my bloglist-Benji (benjibopper)is another with published work, Jackson Bliss (Water and Soul)Jeff Wells (Rigorous Intuition) -Leon Basin (I Write)-I know Autumnforest's (Ghost Hunting Theories) "The Thicket" will be published-and soon I believe -somehow I just "know" and of course I wrote down the woman's name that you interviewed on your blog-in fact let me make sure I have the name right-Lucia Corpri-the "Gloria Damasco" crime fiction novels? Ivan (Ivan at Creative Writing)Christopher Knowles (The Secret Sun) -I know I may be missing people here-I will get a complete list!!
There are also other men and women who write beautifully that I need to see if they have published work Jon (A Blade of Grass) and Echo (Elvas World) -David Caddy and Monique from Middle Ditch?
The reason I hope people who stop by here will help me to complete my list-and if they themselves write-tell me what they think their best work is if it is published -is that I would like to help these authors/poets by ordering their work or donating to their blogs if they are not published yet-when I get my benefits
at least I hope to be able to do this even if for just one time after paying my parents what I owe them for keeping me and Clementina with a roof over our heads the last year and a half+!!!!
I certainly hope the initial payment is large enough that I can do this -and even if just for the first time-order a bunch of books -from people who blog that I link to or that in William Keens case just have lovely work-and then if possible I would like to go further if possible and make a gift of one of these books to the small core group of people who have commented (past and present) here!!
but of course I shouldn't say anything yet as I have no clue what the "big" (backdated) installment will be-and if it will cover the "basics" of what I owe -I am hoping it does-and I hope I have helped in some small way -perhaps very small indeed! every living author/poet I have mentioned here or at "Dev's Questions"
all the best to you my friend -and I also think you would make a wonderful writer -as you already are on your blog!!
Friends & colleagues - check out my newest project where all can participate: www.poetryark.orh. Spread the word!
Bill-thanks so much for letting us know here at MFM-I will try to work the web address somewhere in the front of the page for the blog-maybe the great links section-i hope you are doing beautifully-and thanks again for stopping by-all the best to you!!
