Christy; congratulations on this new review…

I really enjoyed the way Julie has chosen different poems of your book in order to highlight her favorite verses and to give readers an approach to your poetry…

“My legacy Wilting” was also included there. I think that it is great that your “blog hoster” has picked it up because I believe this one of of the most poetically meaningful poems of “Pathways to Illumination”…

Cheers & many hugs, Aquileana 😉
