Comments: You were a great partner and now an amazing poet, and boy we did not even know it as the saying goes. Congratulations not only on your poetry but also on your prose, and congratulations to your muse and supporter.

Comments: Great job, Jack, in all you do (it appears). Your Web site rocks and your poetry kicks, and I'm so happy to have spent a week in Paradise with you. Let's keep in touch. (I look forward to lingering over your poetry more in the future, but so far I like all that I read.) Take care.

Name: Don (with Ruth looking on) Wetzel
Email Address: drwetzel@adelphia.net
Comments: I consider myself fortunate(I guess I should say "We")to have met you and your muse during our salad days at SKY. Ruth brags continually about actually knowing someone of your political bent and your obvious talent. Being a person with no talent whatsoever, I think that exploiting your gift is an inspiration to guys like me. Don't stop- and- as Satchel Page (SP?) said- "Don't look back, they might be gaining"

Comments: Jack, your achievements are most admirable. Your poems that I have read I find to be excellent for their tightness, their vividness, their understated meaning. I'll give you more comments after I have studied your web site.

Comments: A cold,snowy Saturday night and I am reading poetry. I still don't get most of it, like Jessica I suppose, but I try every so often. What I do get is a strong sense of someone who is doing what they should be doing.
Poems or stories that you liked: Neptune and Pluto chasing Saturn. This one I understand! Can you write a poem about those 12 humans who are unique to mankind and walked on another world? That would be so neat.

Poems or stories that you liked: Can't say that I liked one over another. I did like the prose you wrote about your Mom.
Poems or stories that you disliked: You need to write more about the sun and stars than the gloom and doom. I know you have a sense of humor....lets see it and read it! A-men
