Karla, we loved you at TWU! I gave the _Redefining Beauty_ book to my friend who read much of it as her students tested. She cried. Don't worry, it was a cathartic cry. I'll contact you soon regarding speaking to our students. Congratulations on your Poet Laureate Award. You absolutely deserve to represent us Texans!
