Dear Cherryl,

Thank you for your excellent blog! I especially love that you write about some stellar and often ignored writers-of-color. I found your "How to Organize a Poetry Manuscript" so helpful that I posted it on my poetry website at http://miriamherrerapoems.googlepages.com/

Sincerely,
M. Miriam Herrera
