Dear readers,
On this sunny early summer morning in New Hampshire, I awoke to find that more than 15,000 of you from 155 nations now subscribe to this blog. On nearly 300,000 occasions, you have paid me the honor of visiting to read my work, leaving 52,000 comments along the way.
Few writers enjoy such affirmation. We contemporary poets and authors are blessed with a technology that allows our words to instantly reach so many eyes. The personal connections and friendships made possible by the internet are, for me, a continuing source of encouragement and inspiration.
I thank you most humbly for your interest in and appreciation of my poetry.
Affectionately,
Paul

during this intermission, allow me to express my sorrow and regret of the recent attacks in the UK – I hesitate to mention them because their very recall boils my innards – I hope that whatever new government emerges finds a way to make life safer for all UK citizens

Appreciated, Paul. I believe the worst kind of enemy is the one acting for a cause, yet without being directed by the masters of that cause. In short, the terrorist within acting alone or with the likeminded. They are unpredictable demons. We seem to have more of those than we thought. I fear for my policeman son, working in London. I am aware he was at the scene of the Westminster attack…plainly I refrain from quizzing him about it.
