About meI'm a 25 year old who has her MFA in Creative Writing with a duel emphasis in poetry and children's writing.
As an English major, I've collectd a wide and diverse collection of books, most of which are still scattered all over my parents' house, but a select few live in my apartment. I published my first picture book, Angeline Jellybean, in late 2008.

About my libraryA mix of writing manuals, poetry, tried-and-true favorite novels, and books I've been forced to read and may or may not have liked. :-)

I love you for what you are,
but I love you yet more for what
you are going to be.
I love you not so much for your realities
as for your ideals.
I pray for your desires that they may be great,
rather than for your satisfactions,
which may be so hazardously little.
A satisfied flower is one whose petals are about to fall.
The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud
Where in the pangs and ecstasies of desire
are working for a larger and finer growth.
Not always shall you be what you are now.
You are going forward toward something great.
I am on the way with you and
therefore I love you.

- by Carl Sandburg

i just heard of a couple books you might want to look for, but i don't know if they are any good or not: Strong Measures, edited by Philip Dacey and David Jauss- an anthology of formal verse; and All the Fun’s in How You Say a Thing: An Explanation of Meter and Versification, by Timothy Steele.

This may take awhile....I joined, but it may take some time to add in my books! i have a feeling it could become addictive, as well...

I must say, the 20 books we share sound fabulous . . . we both have good taste! Hee hee!

Hey there! I'd never even thought to look for any Chatham ladies on here . . . nice to see you, too!

posted by amyfaerie at 8:42 pm (EST) on Jan 26, 2007

I love you too!

what kind of poetry do you write? I am a Southwest regionalist, though I have written of wider subjects as well.

posted by southwestpoet at 11:17 am (EST) on Oct 24, 2006

That's pretty cool! Please tell her that someone in Germany admires her poetry very much. Peace and grace, Jeffrey

It is good to see another fan of Sheryl St. Germain. By the way, I just finished reading Moby Dick; it's about time I read it -- I am 51 years old!

Kindered spirits and all that :-). Or maybe it's something to do with "great minds"? *lol*
