Welcome to the forum and congratulations!

I believe that we can sometimes assess our own mental wellness by how our children live their lives. I also have 2 adult children (now in their 30's) who are living successful lives. I am very proud of them, but also proud of myself for having broken the abusive family cycle I came from.

I absolutely love poetry and used to write poetry. I also facilitated a women's poetry group for a year. That was a powerful experience. How exceptional that your wife is also interested in poetry.

And, I have studied Zen Buddhism fairly extensively. My studies were in my 30's. I am now 60 and still find those studies applicable to my life.

You and I have quite a bit in common.

Poetry as a genre does not sell. How many many books of poetry you have purchased in the last year other than college/ university? I purchased four, received two as gifts; however, my literary career-is in American poetry. Yet, I am so grateful to be in our group with you. I welcome you as a writer Beth.
