Dear Joanne,

Hello, it's Josephine Scicluna from PEN Melbourne writing - this year in our journal (for our Writers in prison report) we would like to publish a fragment from the poem by María Cristina Garrido Rodríguez published in your blog. Do you think it will be permitted for us to do so, with due acknowledgement to Maria? Many thanks,

Josephine <wip@penmelbourne.org>

So sorry I am just seeing this in comments. Yes, I think using the poem would be fine since PEN International posted it.

Sounds good. I'll look forward to it. We'll all have some fun and face peril together on a contemporary yellow brick road.

Wow! Joanne! I love this new platform, with writer information, action options, links, and your own observations, of course. I’ll also be trying to fit two new words into my conversation…somehow! Thanks for sharing this interesting new direction!
