Great job at the Cantab. Can't stop thinking of a couple lines from your leapers poem. Which book is it in? I really want to share it with some folks.
Hi Professor Hodgen I'm an old Mount Student of yours (twice) and I am in the video production and web design fields. I have a client that is writing a motivational book and she's aspiring to be a motivational speaker.
Is there anyway you could preview her book or refer her to an editor? She has a budget to invest in her speaking business and you were the first person that came to my mind when she started looking for an editor!

I found a book of your at the thrift shop on Nantucket today. It was signed to a guy named Paul, three cheers for the Andrew Sisters and Otis Redding -9/18/11 I still read your poetry and always pull something new from it each time.

Hello Professor Hodgen. I find myself at your website after finding Bereavement rate online. Im very happy you assigned me this poem, it is perfect for me. I plan to print it out and keep a copy somewhere on my desk. This is the kind of poem i want to be reading each and every day, not just because you wrote it and I aspire to you, but because the questions it asks are so so valid. Why shouldn't we all fly bereavement. There is so much death and suffering.
I see this poem as a ballad, and one to live by.
looking foward to many more classes :D
