CEP00000007 Split Poems – Peter Hoflich and Jennifer
Boudreaux – 27 and 38 pages long respectively
In 1999 I organized several of my poems from that year and 1998,
and printed them in a split version with my old classmate Jennifer Boudreaux
of Houston, Texas. We have not met in 13 years, but have found it
not difficult to communicate through the internet.
