Guest guest Posted March 16, 2001 Report Share Posted March 16, 2001 Dear Mark, Do you have a web site? It would be wonderful if you could set that up. Having all your poems together. Could you tell me a bit of your background, there is always some original Christian mysticism and symbology in your writings, it always warms me up... Love Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
