Linda Aschbrenner is a great writer herself, her poetry is charming, whimsical, insightful. She has more than once placed in the winners circle of The Writer’s Digest contest, which receives literally thousands of entries; yet she chose for years to give the majority of her time and energy to the work of others. I would never have known that I was a poet if it had not been for Laurel Yorke who told me so, and Linda Aschbrenner who proved it by publishing my work. I, and so many others are deeply indebted to this wonderful woman. Reading Free Verse was a continual education to me, as writers from far and near poured out their hearts and observations in her pages. Thank you, Norbert for your celebration of her. I was going to say she
is one of a kind, but then…you do the same thing.

Congrats to you Linda and thank you for your years of dedication to poetry; Sarah and Wendy, the mag is lovely and so filled with the vision of all three of you. I look forward to my continuing relationship. Thanks Norb, for bringing the light upon a very necessary person in Wisconsin’s (and more) poetryland.
