    Thank you to Fictionaut's strikingly gifted Lillian Ann Slugocki and to editor, Sonya Chung.

    Bloom is a great new magazine, founded by Sonya Chung, profiling writers who begin professionally publishing after the age of 40.

    This is a fine recognition of not just what you write, but praise, too, for the unique, fearless ways you use words in what you write.

    Annis Pratt was my professor in two courses at Wisconsin: Advanced Poetry, Performance Emphasis and Virginia Woolf. That sends another cheer coursing to my feet. Annis graded my poetry A+ and my papers A and even one A+. A+ was not transferrable to the Madison transcript, however, as higher-than-A is at Stanford.

    This review of Meg Pokrass' body of work is utterly smart. An entire short story, such as "Summer Cottage," can fit in the space of a customary clip or quotation that ordinarily can be understood only in part. Brilliant application of scholarship.

    Opened my eyes up to facets of Meg's work I had never seen or thought of before. As Ann says, a brilliant application of scholarship.

    thanks to Meg for posting this in the Forum and thanks to Ann and John and Sam for posting their comments. Annis Pratt is my IDOL, Ann, so lucky you studied with her---
