"A.T. Books - Work " [Reflections on Book - Right Side Up Side Down Connie Bischoff and Romeo Lemieux - re: Lemieux - Bischoff Wrap Up ]

“Augmented Text” – A.T. to me –
It works, for in this book I see
My concept for my novels rich,
Could be augmented – that’s a switch –

For poems, stories, magazines,
Long years with graphic arts have been
In dialogue – one base, one top –
Augmenting what the others got.

So Connie, Romeo, I thank
You for this decade’s work – it ranks
Up high on shelf – my thirty odd
Of treasured land-marks – gifts of God.

I had at one time ninety feet
Of bookshelves, yet there’s none so sweet
As favorite books I separate keep,
That daily when I rise, I greet –

Them like old friends – so know this book
Ranks high with them – if no one looks
At any other volume yours,
This gift – it’s spirit, place secures.

Thanks Lord for this.
