What is exhilarating to me is the way you dissect and explain the sentences. Such a delight! Absolutely love your work, thank you :)

Another gift of a Sentence (and a doozy, at that!) to warm a winter morning. My thanks.

BTW, Ben, I bought OPEN, the Agassi autobiography, based on your recommendation for my husband's birthday based on your recommendation; he loves it. A great find for a literate follower of tennis. Thanks

Oh fun! And I meant to tell you, I've used a couple of the poems you've sent in a workshop I lead at the library, and they've worked great. So thank you!
