[stylist] Additional thoughts on publishing

[Lynda Lambert]

Hi Jackie,
Yes, you want to acknowledge all your publications for each poem - it is the 
history of that poem and it's important to do. We have to be our own 
historians and guardians of our work.

OH, I love the word "Colophon" I think it sounds so musical.  lol

> Third: is the "About the Author" Page. It has  a short academic bio of my

>  Fourth:
>
> The publisher's Page.
>
> Fifth: the "Colophone" Page
>
> This page lists the details of the physical book, the font used, the cover

> Inside, just following the Table of Contents, there is a "Forward" written
