His involvement in the poetry collective goes back even further. A former journalist, he once told me he began writing poetry to become a better writer overall. A good lesson for everyone.Marsha Qualeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506544531376399293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-90523538669583900562010-12-10T12:38:29.228-06:002010-12-10T12:38:29.228-06:00Speaking of poets, if you don't know Anna Akhm...Speaking of poets, if you don't know Anna Akhmatova's work, take a look. A first line from one of her early poems is so wonderful: "I drew my left hand glove/onto my right hand." <br /><br />If that doesn't knock yours socks off, you need new socks.<br /><br />And, Nolan -- nice work, pal.

On Charity Navigator it has high ratings. Charity Navigator is a great site, by the way, that allows you to sort through charities via subject and locations (pets, kids etc.) and analyzes their financial efficiency, giving them rating.Kelly Eastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13409037341580163662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-50428266021050817292010-12-09T11:24:34.005-06:002010-12-09T11:24:34.005-06:00Ophelia Dahl is also the daughter of Roald Dahl.
