I agree with you guys that a poetry book by PWPer's doesn't just have to be about Pd, altho' I think that it would be good if at least one poem in each group that an individual submits, do have something to do with it. That way we could, in one book, share with the rest of the world, both what the pd experience really is, as well as showing that, like ya said, that we are more than our pd. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. And I don't think the book has to be limited to specifically pwper';s, but could also include poems by caregivers, other family members, etc. I'm gonna try and draft a letter to the different national pd groups and see if I can't get one of them to help sponsor this project. Also, if anyone on this list has any names in particular, related in any way to publishing, that would help too. Wendy Tebay
