There are definitely three hits, Matthew. I had no problem in catching them right in my left glove . . .

I was so impressed I hopped onto Amazon.com and bought your book.

Matthew, your voice just sings; total youth of America. Total America of America.

It feels like oxygen is unnecessary for you who breathes lyrical stories, Matthew. I am awed.

Wow! I must go out and get your book!!

You, sir, are the second coming of Sandburg and Whitman. I believe either of these men would have been proud of his sons. America, yes. Small wonder you are twins.

Matthew, you have taken a fine silk thread and connected us all. With your verbal weaving you have made it impossible to feel invisible; you connect the sounds of young and old while giving substance to the voice of gender. Thank you for the trip across the America I know.
