Hi Heather,
I’m looking for your beautiful poem, “Cemetery Angel” – can you tell me where to find it?
Hope you are well!
Hi Vallerie! Thanks so much. I’d be happy to email you a copy of Cemetery Angel if you send me your email address. That poem is also published in my chapbook These Onyx Hours. I hope you’re doing well, too.
Nice to hear from you, Heather! Thanks so much if you would – my e-mail is vmalkin517@yahoo.com Best to you, and thank you again! Your writing is breathtaking.
Thank you for your kind words, Valerie. I really appreciate it. I’ll send the poem along to you soon.
