[stylist] A first for me: Your poem in the NFSPS Encore anthology

Tue Sep 20 17:30:09 UTC 2016

Georgia and the Stylist list, I hope this attachment works.
A bit of background. I do not have a guide dog. When I was at the Vet School for the Blind in Tucson, I had an eighteen year old housemate who was completely blind, and had a dog that she let out often in the middle of the night. I worried myself sick for we were in an isolated part of the campus. I used to wait outside until she got in safely. I remember the sounds and the light of the moon.
Incidentally, I consider this far from my best poem. However, there is no accounting for judges, and I am happy if it draws attention to a part of living without sight.

Jackie!  How wonderful that you have achieved such a feather in your cap! 

The cover of the anthology came through just fine as an attachment. The text of the poem did not come through to me -- possibly a software problem? I just got a blank screen.

Perhaps if you could bring one print copy to class, I can have copies made so that if anyone else failed to get it, they will be able to read it.

These are red-letter days for you, for sure.

Georgia

I hope this goes through. I skipped a few people I would like to know. Short term memory going!
