      Thank you, so much! I do think a lot about thematic threads. But I realize that what I write may neglect important elements. Poetry collections are so rich and complex. I always worry about how to approach writing a review. I appreciate your helpful and supportive comments!

        Thank you Shirani, you are very nice. Indeed, dreams must be made into clay, and built upon. ♥️

        Reviewing is an art I don’t really master, and I’m more on the loving side of writing tales and poetry. May you have a nice week ♥️

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It’s obvious that you read and re-read the poems several times before you wrote the review. This thoughtfulness comes out when you read the review.

      Thank you so much, Shirani! I do study the poems and take my time with the review. Even when I write my own poems, it takes a while for me to converse with them before I feel they are finished…if that’s ever really possible. ♥️♥️♥️
