Thank you for the friend request! I see that we are both fans of Maya and poetry. I always enjoy meeting a fellow poet. Please be sure to keep in touch, and thanks again for the invite.


Robert Hello:
The cat's name is Target, he's a bullseye tabby, hence the name. I see you like Gabo. I meet him at a friend's house in Cartagena, Colombia and he gave a reading from his latest book which at the time was The General In His Labyrinth
