Thank you Fritz! That was a much more dynamic poem than I expected by the title!
And a coincidence; I was just smelling some mint leaves I gathered from the garden while downloading your recording, then I opened the text link, to see what looks like a mint leaf itself!

PL OK!

I love seeing traces of earlier readers. Brings to mind the story in "The Book Nobody Read", where the author traces down all the copies he could find of Copernicus' De Revolutionibus (1543) and proved it was widely read by studying the notes left in the pages by earlier readers including luminaries such as Isaac Newton et al.

Margaret Fuller was an interesting woman. You have to wonder what else she may have accomplished if she had lived longer. She died in a shipwreck

on Fire Island along the coast of New York with her young son and Italian lover.

Hi Refilwe! Welcome to The Poetry collection!

I see you had recorded this for the Weekly poetry last month, so I guess you must have really liked the poem since you wanted to record a new delivery of it!

PL OK! Thank you!
