I finally got back to the bookstore to pick up my mail, and there was your Kleine Tiere. Oh, my! \u2014 wonderful poems \u2014 lyrical, ironic, discerning. I couldn\u2019t put the book down, an experience I have rarely had with a collection of poetry. Thanks so much for sending me a copy.
All best,
Nancy<\/strong><\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
