WRITER’S PRAYER
By Samuel Johnson

O Lord, who hast hitherto supported me, enable me to proceed in this labor, & in the whole task of my present state; that when I shall render up, at the last day, an account of the talent committed to me, I may receive pardon, for the sake of Jesus Christ,

Amen.

Thank you for your response to my recent reading at the White House Pub, and for taking my poem "In The End" for REVIVAL. I was re-energized as a performance poet by the chance to read live again, and very impressed with your local wordsmiths. Even now I am seeking copies of our "Windows Poets Anthology", covering the 7 years we ran a monthly reading at a wonderful pub on the Cumberland River in Nashville, TN. I'm sure you would enjoy the diversity of styles therein. Thanks again for making me feel at home, and I look forward to a long, satisfying friendship with the White House Poets.

Hello White House Poets! Thanks for the great reception at my recent reading. I just wanted you to know that the book I read from, SOMETHING WE CAN'T NAME: The Windows On The Cumberland Poets Anthology, is available from Mr. Andy Valentine, at highergroundis@comcast.net, for a very reasonable price. This book will give you a superb overview of the many great poets who graced our open mic in Nashville, TN for nearly 8 years. Thank you again for having me. I'm enjoy-
ing the July Issue of REVIVAL a great deal, and look forward to returning to The White Horse again.

All best,

C Ra
