It's good news that you are available until late at night, could drop in after work cos I work late hours too. I have never met you in person although I follow your work closely and would love to get to know you....

True, but as a reader with no scholarly credentials, I perceive an undercurrent of sexuality in some of your poems. Obviously this sexuality is not pre-meditated but spontaneous. This subtle sensuality alone in your work warrants a commentary of its own!
