[Thespiritexpress] Info for the Ukiah Reading Sept. 25th

[Leslie Lebeau]

Dear Toni,
Gosh I wish I could be there for both of your upcoming readings.  Being there in person will amplify the impact of your beautiful self and your poetry.  I hope you will share how your book is progressing when we next see one another.  You are so deeply intuitive and experientially perceptive, I love how you can see and understand what lies behind people's behavior, to the story beneath the surface.  Perhaps you can share some of your process as you create a poem.
I hope you thoroughly enjoy yourself at both readings.  
Love ❤️
