• Archana Sahani: Hi Tina, I enjoyed reading your interpretation of my poem "He loved a poet" on your blog. Am pleased to learn that its one of your favourite poems. Greetings from Toronto. Take care.

  Rivenrod: You arrange words sharply, elegantly. I enjoy how they swell to the end like puffs of rice in water. I am often frustrated by poetry and poets. Not you!

• Roscoe: I came across your page on hub. that poem in your "about me" section. I was....cant really explain how I felt as I read it, I really enjoyed it. just felt necessary to let you know. Thanks, Roscoe

  Benny Faye Douglas: You’re very talented with your words, I enjoyed your poem and story "Let me grow in your Background, Mother" , but it hurt deep within my heart and made it scream. Continue your writing journey as you may, never let anyone hamper you on your way. Godspeed and much love.

• Will Ferrel: At first, I was astonished by the articulation of human behavior and emotions by you in your poetic expressions (such as used in "drenched", "A Bottle of Ink", Wandering About,"Will You Sing it to Me?", "Comforters"). I am quite moved by the striking use of metaphor. I also admire the way you draw a sketch by the sheer usage of words, making it lot more interesting to read. Thanks for being so ‘candid’ in whatever you write . . . . I really appreciate some of the articles (What makes a good reader, B'day Diaries) and Book Reviews (Veronica Decides to Die, The Bluest Eye) written by you in graceful style with meticulous care to ensure correctness of facts and explanations.

  People have become insensitive towards life. However, when few souls like you come up with their own creative work, then it does bring certain amount of sensitivity among all. So keep up the good work and wish you good luck for that!

  Dr. Vaibhav Shah: Hi Tina! I just went through your website and could not resist my wish to appreciate your secret magic of poetry. They are well constructed, beautifully organized, compelling a reader to see in an unknown realm; full of mystery and of course an awesome experience. Actually I got the crux of your poetic talent in your biography only! Great! nice to read your poems.
