Peter Klatzow and I have exchanged well over 40 emails since he first requested to use my poem to set to music. A new request came in to me couple days ago, in regards to Millay's sonnet he is setting to music currently. I gave my advice and examples of my own sonnets that mirrored her's in subject matter , heart, honesty and message.
He sent me another request this morn, I will block all other sentences in that long email as its personal and only show the new request.
Dear Robert,
Thank you for both your emails. It is so good to be conversing with an active poet!

But I firmly believe: It's not what you WERE but what you BECOME that matters.
I love your sonnets. Can I investigate them with a view to setting them?
I just sent my friend a reply answering yes he may do so . As its an honor.. Abbreviated short version of my in-depth reply to Peter.
