Sorry I wasn't able to stay to hear you read.<br />I like the poem. The idea that scents trigger memories works well with the dream like setting. I know Barcelona well and you offer a thoughtful picture of the city. <br />I'd like to read more of your work if that's possible. I'll ask Ana to give you my email.<br />Thanks again.Paul Tobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732771806819029077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387667238687975467.post-35751536723613473232023-10-26T12:12:26.951+01:002023-10-26T12:12:26.951+01:00Hi Paul ...
