Thank you so much for the wonderful review of "In the Grip of Grace" Michael! I especially appreciate your acknowledgment of the trifecta at the conclusion of the book which I confess I took for granted until you brought it up in your review. Thank you for including your two poems in this share as well. “Tiananmen Mother” is so moving, and the last line (my duty is to weep for the lost ones) brings to mind the current situation in Gaza, Ukraine and elsewhere. What a powerful poem! I love the image of “cat fish jumping three feet above the water” from “Making the Most of It.” Best wishes for continued writing success...I look forward to reading your future posts on here! ~Marianne
