Elizabeth got a confirmation today that 2 of her poems are going to be published in the Harvard University Medical School's Book of Poetry - to be published by Archer Books, later this year...

Guess what, folks... Liz never submitted her work to them. They found her right here and asked HER if they could publish her...

The two poems are: I've Given All I Had to Give and "I'm Having So Much Fun."

CONGRATULATIONS, LIZ
We Love YOU

=============================

OH HOW COOL IS THAT!!!
I got goosebumps when I read that....
it couldnt happen to a more talented and deserving poet, to have it happen that way.
Congratulations Lizzie... enjoy the "fame"
your poetry has given us so much pleasure and now the rest of "world" will share in your gifts.

Thank you, Nan, and poet friends for your best wishes. I consider the honor an honor for all of us, for so many of my poems were inspired by you, or I should say that continuing to write is an inspiration from you, your exuberance, your joy in writing. Just look at this post, it's a celebration of poetry itself. And so I celebrate with you and thank each of you for your joy in writing
