Genevieve Straessley 2008-03-10 ch 1,	abusei love how you have captured the reminiscence of a relationship in this piece. it is difficult to put into words just how one feels at the end, the failure of an era shared between two lovers. you have illustrated that there is never even ground at the end, one person is always left more broken, or at least broken in another way than the other.
no.peace.los.angeles 2008-02-28 ch 1,	abuseThis is a different side of your writing. It seems almost vulnerable, and I mean that in only the best possible way. Just a very lovestruck feeling. I like "balcony summers," "I reading you," and the idea of breaking being tangible. It's a different style coming from you and I like the change. Keep writing! :)

emeraude-irlandais 2008-02-27 ch 1,	abuseI never thought to disable the "author alert" messages from ficpress, and so I have been, at least in a small way, still connected to your work on here even during my 'vacation.' And, now that I'm actually going to make an attempt at going back through the work of someone who is obviously very prolific, I'm glad to see that very little in your style has changed. If anything, you're a little sharper, a little more jaded, and I really cannot stop expressing the statement which must be very trite by now-- "I adore your work, and you are my poetic idol." And in many ways, I feel that does both of us a disservice, because I have idolized you so much that critiquing your work is impossible. Still revelling in the wonder of reading your work again, all I can focus on is the brilliance of the lines: "But this is where/ breaking is tangible, tender and/ cogent." Good lord.
