Thanks! Well, I post new poems and other literary workks on here every day. If you see anything you'd like to read, please do, and leave a comment if you're so inspired. If not, that's okay, too. And if you have any suggestions as far as what you'd like to see in the library, please let me know and I'll do my best to include it (so long as I can get permission if the work is copyright).

"Suburban Monastery Death Poem" by d.a. levy is one of my all time favorite works by levy. I had it on my author page at allpoetry in 2004, a year after I joined that site. By having it posted there, I was able to introduce many poets to levy who were unaware of his talents. I do wonder what his muse would have scribed if he were still alive.

Thanks for the invite John. Glad to be with this networkblog.
