This artist's dream-come-true if ever there was one.<br /><br />Infine, thank you, thank you, thank you Janet, Silvia and Lee for your kind words... and for welcoming me (and my work) into your magnificent fold, as it were (no pun intended:-).<br /><br />Evviva la poesia, (and all those who make and CELEBRATE it)!<br /><br />With profound admiration,<br /><br />Stephen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-39268382955700272702009-11-29T22:09:23.753-06:002009-11-29T22:09:23.753-06:00I'm so tickled to connect with fellow quote-lo...I'm so tickled to connect with fellow quote-lovers-- and to promote the work of Stephen Alcorn, too.

My old Bartlett's got heavy use when I was younger, and I often look for quotes to share.<br />Stephen's artwork is exquisite, and his Gift Of Days looks beautiful. <br />As a school and public librarian, I loved showing Lee Bennett Hopkins' poetry with my students and pointing out Alcorn's illustrations. Theirs is a wonderful collaboration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-49881470430438204232009-11-29T10:19:37.839-06:002009-11-29T10:19:37.839-06:00Oh I am so excited to have won a copy of DEAR ONE!...Oh I am so excited to have won a copy of DEAR ONE!

I opened A Gift of Days just now and found a perfect quote for the season, by Mother Teresa: "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." I liked Emily Dickinson's entry, too: "Forever is composed of nows."janet wongnoreply@blogger.com
