ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

After writing poems for twenty-three years I decided to sharesome with my old friend, Marjorie Spock, with whom I summered fortwelve years on the Maine coast. Given her love of poetry and abilityto warmly recite poems of Gerald Manley Hopkins, John RedwoodAnderson, and others, I knew she would give an honest reading ofmy poetry. With warmest interest she mused over several poems forsome days. When ready, her comments were helpful and encouraging.She felt it important to earth them, to leave a lightmark/footprintof change upon the earth through publishing and making them

available for others to read. In 1999 I gathered the many scrapsof paper and began working at the computer, arduously typing, re-formatting, re-fonting on and off for a nal count of ten years.During that time I shared poems with others who also encouraged meto carry-on to get it out there.

I am deeply grateful for constructive comments from MarjorieSpock, Christie Barnes, Kim Smith and Emanuel Blosser; and forvaluable remarks from Isobel Sayers, Owen deRis, Jaimen McMillan,Linda Heywood, Patti Hudson, Lois Lynch, Linda & Cliff Robitelle,Danielle Fox and Syd Kissinger. Many others have helped me along

the way. Although your names are unlisted, I give thanks to you forcaring to read my poems or for listening to them at Magdalenas OpenMic Poetry evenings in E. Lansing, MI.

My loving husband, Emanuel Blosser, has been supportive in everyway, and I remain forever full of loving gratitude. His on-goingthoughtful considerations, suggestions and encouragements havehelped me arrive at the printers with three poetry books andcalendar illustrated with colorful pastel-chalks, ready for printing,WORDS FOR THE WORDLESS.
