Iโ€™ve been so fortunate to have had รgnes Cserhรกti as editor/publisher of Rufus Books Publishing and Deborah Barnett to respectively edit and print this chapbook. I hope itโ€™s worthy of their while and investment.

And here lies a remnant of drop and

on ruby lips chandelier and marble steps

How extraordinary to have a poem in this beautiful magazine just next to the exquisite one by รgnes Cserhรกti, editor of Rufus Publishing, who will be publishing my chapbook manuscript in 2026! I honestly feel both fortunate and honoured to be working with her.

to continue my response:
I'm having a serious drink and offer a toast to you and all that you've done for so many. It's quite extraordinary that one person can do so much!

Antibiotics for three months, that's a terribly long time. Here's wishing you health and recovered strength. Life is so strong. The body incessantly and so effeciently deals with whatever threatens it, but maybe sometimes it needs some help.
