I really like the way you divided the poems.

My favorite is the last, "Diffusion." I enjoyed the others, finding passages here and there that give me that fillip I love in poetry, but that one was a starburst in the heart.

I'm so glad! It had the same effect on me, which is why it's at the end.

I really enjoyed this issue! One note, though. My name is S. Brackett Robertson, not Robinson.

So sorry! (fixed) - that's what I get for drafting late at night.

Ah, good! The idea came to me with Michele's poem with "all my mother's sisters call" (which is really why I wanted to do a journeys issue), and then it seemed I found the perfect line in each section.

What a fabulous issue! I do love Inkscrawl; I love what it makes possible, an abundance of small things that are so large really--that light between the fingers in "Diffusion"--almost painfully wonderful. That one, "Of Sleep and Dreams and Random Things" and "What We Carry" are my favorites, but all of them--all of them--are wonderful.

... And I don't think I ever said so, but I meant to, but meaning isn't the same as doing: I really loved hearing you sing at Readercon.

Thank you! "Diffusion" really packs a punch, and those other two are such a calling/summons.

And (blushes) thank you - you know, even now I can hardly believe I did that.
