in New York, meanwhile, confusion over the deal was certainly evident. As the panelists sparred over the deal's contents, poet Juanita Torrence-Thompson, whose sixth book of poems, Breath-Life received a Pushcart nomination, was among the confused. "They say that poets and writers are not good business people because we are so creative," she told PW.
