I look forward to reading the book. <br />Loved your story about your son. <br />Happy 21st birthday to him and you!Helen McKinlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429062682694815734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-84175492524427447932012-05-15T23:20:41.960+12:002012-05-15T23:20:41.960+12:00Really enjoyed this commentary and introduction to...Really enjoyed this commentary and introduction to Graft, which I don't have yet but which I surely will seek out now, thanks to this and Helen Rickerby's post at the Tuesday Poem hub this week. So heartfelt and sure do these poems seem. Not very easy to do when the subject is so close... I very much admire what I see here tonight, and I thank you for the discussions here and elsewhere.Michelle Elvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503119577895402738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-12189141760310541362012-05-15T20:17:36.899+12:002012-05-15T20:17:36.899+12:00Fascinating to read your thoughts about the book, ...Fascinating to read your thoughts about the book, Mary. I feel there's so much to say, and this reminding me of some other things. Certainly there are mothers everywhere, and there is cancer, and their are scientists whose cancer is caused directly by their science, or indirectly, but it's like a dark, swirling galaxy. Ah, clearly it makes me rant. And hope you had a lovely Mothers' Day.Helen Rickerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652318704387476082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688274121226963086.post-35809786179060491272012-05-15T19:55:37.895+12:002012-05-15T19:55:37.895+12:00It's a great book.

My favourite is 'Spilt', the daring of the sensual and the sharing of the breast with lover and child - the hinting at intimacies so very well done, and not easy to do so well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
