I really enjoyed reading your eloquence on Jane Addams, as both your poem and she herself have so much to teach us!
...and I just love your poem "Lifting the Dead" because it speaks from a wise and freeing voice. There is understanding in your words that opens up all sorts of emotions as well as spiritual hope.

Wonderful Her Story ~Jane Addams~...Women have the will to lift others out of despair just as we see here in her story. I'm glad to see you posted this, Janet. It gives awareness to the great efforts women of past and present society, where they have volunteered a good part of their lives making other lives better and more liveable. An inspiring story indeed!
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
Good luck with your new venture.
