"The Journey" Is My Story

Dear Mary,

I can hardly put into words what your poems have meant to me. If I have a sad morning, I take out my New and Selected Poems by you and I read. A calmness comes over me and the images and scenes roll along as I say yes, yes that is true. I always feel better when I put the book down. "The Journey" is my story and "The Pinewoods" is how I feel about the world. Your poetry is a gift, a wonderful gift to many, many people. Thank you so much; from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. 


Love,
Barbara Nicholson
