Edna has always been one of my most favorite writers!!
My English Lit Prof was intrigued when i told her that Edna is my favorite.
i suck at emulating writers which is why i don't enter You and JB's comps. But give me the link and i will try
.........for Edna ; )

It looks great! All your little design tweaks really paid off. And it honors the inspiration poem perfectly; a balance of calm advice to Millay's vibrant sarcasm.

I guess I have some reading to do! Beautiful writing and visual, Ahavati, truly - I love the simplicity of the design and the profound message in this one... Very aesthetically pleasing. It's really well done 🙏❤️

I had a whole book of poem by Edna i lost it when we left our old home for good. It was a rare find. Funny how I never found the interest to join poetry sites in those days when I was still in college and very much into studying literature. Now I have
to reacquaint myself with most writers.

Dear A,
Suppressing love is a suffocation. Hiding your own inner light will snuff out the person you’re meant to be. This write is illuminating for me today and much appreciated going forward when I’m feeling burned and when I’m smothering loved ones. Also, the beauty of the picture is as gentle as the words. Lovely. H🌷
