I think that, in a word, this is a BRILLIANT
piece of work; at the very least, a challeng-
ing prod at anyone who is engaged with
the enchantment with Words-On-Paper.
Stream-of-Consciousness is a term applied to
certain works in the fifties (Kerouac,
Burroughs, Ginsberg, including yours truly)
Surly there were others before, I just don't know
who.
Karen gives you the drift of SOC, but just
blows it all upon the river bank with this
piercing stream of thought. That its in tight
verse form is, I think, eye-opening.
Having known Karen for most of those torment-
ing years only enhances my salute to this
effort, revealing extraordinary talent.
The mother and family, those addressed in this
piece, must shiver. The daughter, the writer,
has given us stuff that many of us may never
attain to.
Cheer up Mom, I truly believe that daughter
has reached beyond the trickle of a Personal
Vendetta to deep water, where many
dog paddle to keep nose in the air.

She may or may not acknowledge it, but
this she did confide that the main
goal of writing this was----Healing! (or
Hope, take your pick.)
