Carrie Richard's Book was Overdue

I'd like to applaud Carrie Richards (Carol) and thank her for her contribution to our book. Mark Massey prompted me six months ago with a shove and guidance through the process. The bottom line is that there is nothing like actually holding your own book in your hands and I'm honored to share that privilege with Carol. I'm quite sure that everyone on the soup came here with a drawer full of assorted scribbles and wondered if they might find like minded writers to learn from and share with. Most of us pass away and leave litle evidence we were here, yet all of you have some evidence posted on this site and if you can, at some point, even if it's in the Poetry Soup books, celebrate something you can hold and pass on.  Some might say that "You're not going to get rich doing that", true, but just having a publication is value enough. Thanks again Mark and good luck on your current production.
