New reply from Susan Katz
<p>Yes, you certainly have the fire that ignites poetry. This one, has some awkward wording – it's almost as if words are missing and misplaced. "</p>

<p>Again, thank you for sharing your work with me. I am getting the feeling you are a prolific writer. That's great. A writer writes – that's the only way for us to unburden ourselves, and reach out to connect with others. I'm honored that you reached out to connect with me, Susan</p>
