Reply Cheryl Corey June 27, 2022 Joseph Sale’s reading of my poetry was absolutely fabulous! He read them with all the drama of a Shakespearean actor. It was way better than anything I could have done. Thank you so much, Joseph! Reply James A. Tweedie June 27, 2022 Agreed, Cheryl. My own poem would have been raised to a higher level if Joseph had read it instead of me! A good time was had by all. Many thanks to James for hosting. Reply James Sale June 28, 2022 Thanks Cheryl and thanks James: I perhaps could develop a new career as managing my son and hiring him out to perform! The response to his reading has been extremely gratifying to me as his father. Thank you so much.
