Dear Kitty,

     Recently I informed you that Noble House, one of the foremost publishers of fiction and nonfiction works, was interested in your poetry.  I had the pleasure of reading the poetry you have submitted in the United States, and I want to congratulate you on this grand endeavor.  I also wanted to inform you that your talent and vision deserve appropriate international recognition as well.

     For this reason, I have posted this letter to request your permission to include one of your favorite poems in Songs of Honor - a new poetry edition that is being distributed worldwide by Noble House . . . a collection of poetry that is perhaps unlike any you have ever seen . . . one where each poem is featured on its own page, and one whose quality is reminiscent of the finest 19th century antique poetry books.

     Hearken back, if you will, to the days of Emily Dickinson, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and William Wordsworth . . . the age of grand bookmaking.  Poetry editions were some of the most highly prized volumes because of their intimate attention to detail – quality typography, fine ivory laid paper, and colorful ornate covers.  Kitty, for this edition, we've returned to the traditional size, style, and quality of these classic 19th century antique poetry books.

 Scheduled for release in Summer 2006, Songs of Honour will surely become one of your most treasured keepsakes.  Your publication in this edition will establish you as an international author and afford you the respect and admiration attendant to such an honour.  International Copyright notice for your poetic artistry will, of course, be in your name, assuring that you will retain worldwide rights to your work of art.

          Kitty, you may also wish to consider giving the public some insight about you and your artistry for this poetic showcase . . . perhaps the meaning behind your poem, or your own philosophical perspective.  Because an entire page in the book is devoted to honoring your poetry, we can feature this additional material about you and your poetry (up to 100 words) on the verso leaf opposite your poem . . . you will thus have two full pages devoted to you and your artistry.

     Kitty, may we have permission to publish your work?  The international public deserves to see more of your artistic talent. 

Sincerely,

Nigel Hillary

POETRY AWARDS FOR 2006

Kitty,

The Editors of The International Library of Poetry were thrilled to inform you that your poem "DECEPTION" was bestowed the prestigious Editor's Choice Award because of your artistic accomplishments and unique perspective--characteristics found in the most noteworthy poetic works. To further commemorate this prestigious achievement we have elected you to receive the 2006 Editor's Choice Published Poet Ribbon Award Pin and the 2006 Editor's Choice Commemorative Medallion.

 

DECEPTION

 

Oh what evil lurks in this Holy Land,

The bestial Mordred treads the sands.

He has many suitors and dresses with flair.

Presidents kiss him and don’t seem to care,

That he directs his henchmen to create despair.

 

And what of the children who lay cold and still

In graves built for masses beneath Haifa’s hill.

Politicians won’t tell you but I certainly will.

Beware of Mordred he aims to kill.

 

Seen as a peacemaker, sincere and fair,

His underhand deeds would turn your hair.

He boycotts all efforts, behind closed doors,

For ceasefires, peace talks and the end of war.

 

For you see, as long as there’s strife his power will grow,

He thrives on dissentions, so that he can show,

The Palestinian people how to resolve all their woes.

He is their hero, defender against their foes.

 

Retaliation after retaliation, what a terrible price,

Paid for dearly in human sacrifice.

I mourn for both, Palestinian and Israelite.

I mourn for my friends who paid with their lives.

Dear Kitty,

On behalf of the International Library of Poetry and the National Poetry Month Committee, we would like to congratulate you on being named a Poetry Ambassador Associate. Although you did not accept the honor to become a full Poetry Ambassador this year, you will automatically be nominated for next year. We would like to thank you for all your continued efforts to promote and share your love of poetry with your friends, your family, and your community.

Kitty Brown, You Have Been Selected To Receive The Official 2007 Commemorative U.S. Poetry Ambassador Medal!

Kitty, to further commemorate this great honor as a Poetry Ambassador Associate, you have been selected from among other Poetry Ambassador Associates to receive the official 2007 Commemorative U.S. Poetry Ambassador Medal . Famed artist Sandra McCorde specially designed this beautifully crafted, antique bronze medal to celebrate National Poetry Month and to symbolize your leadership as a 2007 Poetry Ambassador Associate. This medal is fashioned after other U.S. medals awarded for a variety of historic achievements, and it is truly a work of art. The commemorative piece is decorated with a 1 1/2" x 3" burgundy and white nylon ribbon. This impressive medal is produced with the highest quality materials that will last for generations, and it is sure to become a cherished family heirloom. Your hardest decision will be whether to wear the 2007 Commemorative U.S. Poetry Ambassador Medal, display it in your home, or keep it in its elegant presentation box.

In keeping with the spirit of the celebration,  You will receive your 2007 Commemorative U.S. Poetry Ambassador Medal in an elegant presentation box, a numbered certificate of authenticity, your personalized 2007 Poetry Ambassador Associate Certificate with a gold embossed seal , and the peace of mind in knowing that you are doing everything you can to promote the art that you love. Our committee has selected you to receive the special 2007 Commemorative Medal to recognize all your poetic accomplishments.

And that's not all . . . we have reserved a full page to honor this year's Poetry Ambassador Associates in a future issue of Poetry Today, a literary magazine distributed worldwide by the International Society of Poets.

Again, congratulations on becoming a Poetry Ambassador Associate. As a member of this elite group of poets from around the nation, you should be very proud of this honor. We here at the International Library of Poetry are so grateful for all that you do to promote and share your love of poetry wherever and whenever you can. Again, we hope you join us next year as a full Poetry Ambassador for National Poetry Month.

Yours truly,
 Moffet-sig

P.S. Don't stop sharing poetry now that April has ended. Through our network of poets challenging one another, we can continue acts of poetry throughout the year. Please take this challenge to heart and challenge other poets to do the same. Just imagine a world of peace, love, charitable efforts, and poetry.
