It's one of the great pleasures of my life to not only write myself and to be read by such a discerning audience, but to read everyone else's work as well.

Reading Joy Ann's poetry inspires me each time to look at writing differently; motivating by the way she pushes the boundaries of accustomed expression.

Her words on writing her own poetry and reading others' were wise, revealing, both relatable and teaching, without being overly complicated. And her poetry of course is at times peerless.<br /><br />Fully deserving of a Spotlight, credit to Claudia for doing so, as more and more poets can now share in the joy of reading Joy's work that I have been enjoying for quite some time.

Don't go getting all misty and shit.<br /><br />Her poetry is original, vital, and a blast to read. Plus, she pushes me to write better, just by being so annoyingly talented herself. <br /><br />As to her comments, I think she is one of the very coolest commenters there is. No "nice write" throwaway comments from her. I think I would post, just to get her to say something about it. <br /><br />Get on witchoo bad self, witch. Congratulations on being featured, and junk.

Always generous, as you said, her comments explicate the work clearly and always finds the best qualities in the work. Her own work is always smart, inventive, and metaphorically superior. Reading her work always inspires me, makes me want to think smarter, feel better, understand more. <br /><br />Thank you Joy for your interview, and thank you Claudia for a well written article.Beachannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638256396472533685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998981984340553400.post-77721752129524794772011-01-04T04:52:03.033+00:002011-01-04T04:52:03.033+00:00like she needs any introduction...smiles. joy than...like she needs any introduction...smiles. joy thank you for the great support of one stop...i see you on the 1sw trail weekly...and you have incredible talent as well...keep it up...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
