It's a collection to dip into again and again. (I'm chuckling at Irene's complaint about "ekphrastic" - I think it's an oh-so-fun word, but she's right that it doesn't quite fit. Unless, maybe, you're writing about a Jackson Pollock?) ;0)Robyn Hood Blackhttp://www.robynhoodblack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-4954879754315845972012-05-12T07:33:28.202-07:002012-05-12T07:33:28.202-07:00Hi Ruth - thank you so much for your post!

It should be a flowy word with no hard consonants. I want a new word. :) I'm happy the book reached you and that you enjoyed it.
