At 5:19am on August 5th, 2009, C. Boylan said…: Hey there. Left you a review on Lulu, sorry it took so long. Not sure whether you're a Grammar Nazi like me [I've had to change my Lulu book 3 times after spotting elusive typos] but I found:

pg. 7
it's = its
goodbye's [if plural] = goodbyes?

pg. 13 Christs = Christ's?

No biggies.

At 11:10am on June 23rd, 2009, C. Boylan said…: Your book came today. I'm waiting for work to finish so I can release it from the cardboard packaging...
[not supposed to be erotic or anything, but weirdly looks like I was trying to be haha]

At 4:56am on June 8th, 2009, C. Boylan said…: My turn to wait patiently now; just bought it
:-)

At 11:16am on June 4th, 2009, C. Boylan said…: Heh heh, yeah sorry 'bout that.
Is the overall theme a critical examination of religion in society, or have I read the book description wrong/got it confused with something else?

At 4:25am on June 4th, 2009, C. Boylan said…: Lol, good question. Because I'm a tease...
Nah, just waiting for rent and bills to come out of my bank account and then will be free to continue my merry consumerism.

At 9:34am on June 3rd, 2009, C. Boylan said…: Hi. [origin/al]lity is waiting patiently in my Lulu basket to be bought. Pretty exciting :-)

At 8:25pm on April 13th, 2009, swaney3 said…: Thanks :)

At 8:46pm on December 11th, 2008, Robert Warrington said…: Thank you, Wendy.

I like the language in your poem 8 Doors to Infinite Wisdom (God Knocked Over the Petri Dish).

At 11:24pm on September 17th, 2008, Troy Bigelow said…: Thanks for your honesty in evaluating my poem about sweetness and a first kiss. I need those constructive criticisms to make each poem a better poem. I will be editing directly. Say "hi" to the guys.
