I am in a family of quilters too, so it was dear to me along with the way you created such a loving and strong young woman in Ludelphia. Thank you! And thank you for this beautiful poem, with the mention of a secret vision at the 'end'. How sweet is that if you think of death in that way. It is such a peaceful way to envision it.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-40370107134513949232012-08-03T21:53:01.519-05:002012-08-03T21:53:01.519-05:00Thank you, Jeannine!

I missed Wharton as poet, too. Have you read her slender book "On Writing Fiction?" I don't agree with all of it, partly as some styles have changed, but it's an interesting balance to our more dialog heavy fiction -- which I love, but interesting to try to lean a bit her way. <br /><br />I love hearing more about your trip, which helps keeps the feeling of your presence in Mass. alive. Your picture from the Wharton balcony is very summer-in-Mass with the thick blue-gray air. I just wrote about my glimpse of your visit here: http://jeannineatkinsonwritingandstuff.wordpress.com/Jeannine Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886966069866356470noreply@blogger.com
