And thanks for the reply.  Postpoems has fulfilled two of my long-held dreams:  to have a place to publish my poems, and to see a Poet of Greatness at work, to see a towering collection emerge before my eyes---like a stop-motion record of star formation in a nebula.  I will applaud you as long as I have applause in me.
