STATEMENT

I am easily moved by poetry and find it a privilege to read the work of others. I tend to find everything I read valuable, worthy, important. But the rôle of the editor is to do more than appreciate. A good editor retains the originality of voice and expression while helping the writer refine and fettle as needed . My focus is multi-faceted with a solid intent to ensure work is as widely appreciated as possible.
