Just a little something to celebrate the respondents of ALL Symposium topics 1 - 39 |
I've written an embarrassingly small number of reviews in the last 12 months because I find them hard to write anyway, but it is almost impossible when I am stressed and busy, which I frequently am these days! But I believe in quality over quantity anyway and am particularly proud of this one: Review of "Depression Sonnet" . As for feedback I've received, I save the really special ones, and I love this one: Thank you Ghostranch. That's the most awesome and detailed review; I was a little bowled over (but appreciatively so . I had to go and read the poem again; I hadn't looked at it for literally years and had forgotten its content. It is interesting to read stuff you've written as if for the first time, and that's what happened after I read your comments. I am thinking about the clich and may revise, and I will get rid of that ellipsis altogether; you're absolutely right, it shouldn't be there. Thank you again for the detail, for the thought and time taken. It's a privilege. I love it because of the compliments but also because she took some of my feedback on board, and because my review led to her looking back at a poem she hadn't thought about in a long time. It was nice to know I had reviewed a long neglected piece, leading to it being read, appreciated and worked on again by its author!
