Greetings Fair Lady (and the rest);

Even if Yaakov's suggestion fails to reach fruition I am curious as to what
it is you do and how I may participate.  As I previously mentioned I have put
together a group of poets on AOL whose goal mainly is to share poetry with
each other and comment on each other's poems.  I am also in contact with
another group of AOL poets although I am not quite so active with them.

Now I must confess that my group of 50 or so poets are not strictly period
oriented and also that I am something of a newcomer to the SCA world.
 However, as I modestly aspire to some day be considered a bard, or at least
a minor poet of sorts, I feel that I would benefit by learning the craft from
a medieval perspective.

I await word on what shall become of Yaakov's suggestion....

Humbly yours,

Baltasar (aka John Austin)
