J.A.Carter-Winward, new poetry & the importance of a good editor

I have been really fortunate to have the best poet out there today editing my new poems. J.A.Carter-Winward is amazing. I've never had an editor for my poems in the past & the difference between a poem she has edited and one she hasn't is like night and day. She can be brutal and unsparing in her criticism but she always makes the poem better. Trust is important between a writer and an editor. I trust her implicitly because she is such a fantastic writer. I feel truly blessed to have her on my side. My new poetry book, "Brawl At The Poets Cafe," will be my best poems yet, and that is due to her input.

Everyone should be reading J.A.Carter-Winward.

J.A. Carter-Winward Thanks for the love, Butch--and sorry about the "brutal" and "unsparing" thing. I do try to use my green and red pens for good! Haha

I need a good taskmaster when it comes to poetry. I don't take it seriously enough sometimes and can get complacent and sloppy. You keep me honest!
