Happy New Year, Elizabeth, and thanks for the list! There are always such great posts here, and I always learn. This time, I appreciated the reminder of poetry. I really need to read more of it, and even try writing it, to stretch myself. I haven't paid enough attention to it, I sometimes think.
Happy New Year, Margot! Hope it’s a great 2023 for you. :)
