I always have a snoop around the acknowledgments, makes the author seem more 3D for me. Love the lines, 'flowers faded to white / painting the forest in eyelet lace,' that image has stuck with me.

Beautiful poetry, I loved it!!

I always try to read a book's acknowledgements because I find it so interesting to see who in the author's life is the driving force behind the achievement of publication. I also like to do it because it tells me a bit more about the author, as it's one of the only times we get to hear them use their own voice to speak to us.

I have no idea what my own acknowledgements would look like, but I fear I might be one of the ones that thanks every single person I've ever met 😅

Thanks, Daniel. So glad you liked the poem. I submitted the acknowledgments but I already thought of someone I left out, so I have to resend them. I imagine I'll have to update them a few times.
