Received my certificate from the NFPW contest with these comments:"What a fine piece of work. It's brimming with unexpected words and phrases used with precision and elegance."The poet skillfully guides the reader to hear, smell, taste, and touch every detail. Each poem is the perfect length and structure for what it wants to convey."I practically gasped at some of the images in their rawness or unexpected appearance. I especially like the poems with Civil War themes--so subtle and evocative."
