“The Airpoets give us all hope that the arts of poetry and written correspondence are alive and well and will continue to thrive as long as that of individual passion."

                                Robin Denman, poet and letter carrier

“Notable for its thematic range, the anthology gains its strength from a juxtaposition of styles each elegant and attuned to the rhythms of everyday life." 

                   Caroline Kreiter-Foronda: Poet Laureate of Virginia, 2006-2008
