Happy Birthday Honoré de Balzac!
(1799 - 1850) French novelist and playwright
I read your book 'People Talk' and finding it again I make note here of what was said of you at that time and I want to say you have only gotten better.
'Mrs. Alves is a versatile and spontaneous writer, which gives her work universal appeal'
Dorothy's poetry is important, I believe, because it deals with real people and describes real situations with much warmth and sincerity.
'Dorothy's poems are sensitive insights into the soul.'
I salute you for still sharing your gift.
Ms. Holmes: You have a startling, and extremely versatile voice, with a range that goes from sensuous to sad and back in about 6.5 seconds. Thank you for sharing.
