Chrysa, thank you for this wonderful interview and insight into a man from who I have learned a great deal about the art of writing and particularly the world of poetry. I have read John for a long time, and, as he admits, he just seems to improve and improve until I think with every read, he won’t do better. But better he does. The man’s sincerity is something I hold dear and value in our online friendship. That he should mention my name is humbling beyond words. He is a man in every sense of the word, and a writer and poet that demonstrates vividly the heart that lives inside him. I absolutely love the guy. May whatever he believes keep him and his family safe. ♥️🙏🏻
