[stylist] FW: MAGNETS AND LADDERS / ActiveVoices ofWriters with Disabilities

Fri May 15 20:15:29 UTC 2015

Thank you. Wisps was actually just an exercise I did right here on Stylist.
It was the first creative thing I wrote after his birth. I never expected to
publish it. But last year, I was going through older pieces I wrote, and I
thought Wisps had merit. Appreciate the comments. Yes, it's a long magazine,
still getting through it myself, smile.

Thanks, I appreciate your comments, Bridgit. I have not yet read the entire
magazine either so still have a long way to go with it.  I ran off a print
copy and was amazed at how large it is - what a surprise it was!  "Two
Friends on a Bench"  was written as I sat on the grass looking at the two
people a short distance in front of me. I was there a long time, drawing and
writing, and later made my notes into this poem.  It was on  one of my
summer sojourns in Austria - in 1989. " When My Daughter Cuts the Roses" was
written just last November when she was here visiting over Thanksgiving. 
Gosh, that is a quarter of a century apart - well, still doing what I love
to do - writing!

Anyway, I loved the way you crafted your piece about your son's entry into
the world - and the emotion you capture with all of the twists and turns in
the process gives the piece tension and draws the reader into the privacy of
this event.

Thank you so much, Lynda. I have not had time to read everything, but I read
When my Daughter Cuts the Roses and Two Friends on a Bench. Both are
beautifully crafted and provide me, personally, with a lot of vivid imagery.
Daughter feels like all my senses are experiencing it. Two Friends on a
Bench was particularly powerful to me. Congrats.

Shawn,

Congrats. I had posted about spring/summer Magnets and Ladders issue  when
it released since several Stylist contributors are published in its pages,
including you, Myrna, Lynda and myself. Sorry for forgetting people, I'm
just going off the top of my head right now, smile.
