MEMBER TESTIMONIALS
Carol A. Stephens - CFP Member
"Although I have been writing poetry
for many years, it was not until the CFP listed me as Carol A Stephen - Poet; that I realized I
could call myself a writer. I want to thank you so much for that attitude-changing boost!
CFP provides so many great resources for poets. The newsletters are one excellent example.
I was especially interested on reading the November newsletter to find that I could set up a free Blog;
giving me my own website. It was amazingly easy and quick to do; in about 10 minutes I was off and running.
I am looking forward later to taking advantage of the Poets' Certification course next.
The efforts by the CFP to promote poetry in Canada and
around the world can really make a difference for us all.
Thanks to Tracy Repchuk for all of her help."

There are some pretty exciting things happening around here, and I hope you

a huge benefit to the poets who subscribe to this e-zine. We get
a chance to participate with a really great group, for a very good
cause; the promotion of poetry for the spirit of humanity. So get
