At Home with the W's

My untried agents list is complete. As many as letters in the alphabet. All warranting an email or an envelope.

I have reached down into the W's. Or up depending on which way you want to look at it, particularly if you are standing on your head or looking back through your legs, being confused by M's and more M's.

W authors are often hard to find on the bookshelves, but they are always worth a look - Walt Whitman for example, a fine double doubleyou, which ever way you look at him. Leaves of Grass is a volume I shall never throw away.

Nor shall I discard Walden by Henry David Thoreau, a reminder that the best books are timeless. They stick in you mind even though lesser books take pride of place on the bookshop shelves.

W is a good place to be. Look back; reflect and enjoy. The exotic world of x, y & z is not far ahead.
