It’s all poetry, and I just got it back from a very harsh class evaluation. They made some suggestions, but it was obviously pretty bad - few pieces had more good comments than negative. If you think you could find it in the goodness of your heart (:)) to help a poor high school senior make them palatable to a wider audience than… say… himself, I would love you forever! Offers could be emailed to [libraryalexandria@sasktel.net](mailto:libraryalexandria@sasktel.net) and I’ll send you the file (ten poems in all, in this case). Thank you so much to any who respond! ---
