Book launch, 2011 McNally Robinson.



I received an e-mail the day after the launch:
"Your words were amazing! I was so taken with your poetry tonight Carol. Seriously.
I did not come up to you to tell you in person, because I'm not very good at that sort of thing and it would have come out all wrong.
Here's the thing. I have never been a fan of poetry. I don't know why but it has never struck a chord within me. Tonight that changed. I think all these years I just have never been exposed to the right kind of poetry.
You words pulled me in. I was surrounded by your scenes. And I think it helped immensely that you are a brilliant oral reader.
I was moved, clearly you are in your element here."
Sam
