   Awesome interview. I took away a lot of ideas … Mark’s discussing the
   epistolary poem, // a verse letter // letter poem being a poem in the form of an epistle or letter.
   ( thank you google )
   was the part that I forgot that was suggested sometime when I started PoPo.
   .
   I would often forget to put the salutation on the postcard … or not leave room for it when I started.
   The first year, I realize now …thanks to Mark and Paul’s conversation, is that I was worried about
   using an informal first name.
   Foolish me, I got myself tied up in calling people by their first names. Of course, that was meant back
   when I was young, the proper way to address an older person or a title they had earned.

   My takeaway besides the epistolary style … I have to admit that I am probably a lot older than most of
   the people that are on the list. I AM that older person that I thought I was writing to.
   .
   My only negative-ish comment to Mark is about the “not being hand written means not spontaneous”…
   for me, anyway, what I type is more spontaneous than hand written …
   and the fact that hand writing for many people may be illegible or painful.

   Thanks for a delightful interview. 🙂 <3
