Dear Poem Pirate,
We haven't met. I am the poet from whom you have already stolen more than 2,000 blog posts, including poems, other writings, and photographs--and are continuing to steal. I don't know your name, but I think of you as Mac Safari, in honor of your computer operating system and browser. Although you have endeavored to hide your activity, I see it. All of it.
I would like to compliment you on your excellent taste in writing and photography. I don't know what your intention is in harvesting my work, but I must warn you that what you are doing is unauthorized. Further, I would like to go on record as saying that I have not, as of this writing, authorized any collection or mass publication of my work.
Maybe we should talk about it, as I don't take piracy lightly. I can be reached any old time (exolinguist at gmail dot com).
Thanks in advance for having the courtesy to communicate with me about what you are doing and your intentions in doing it.
Donald C. Traxler aka Donald Jacobson Traxler, ꮨᏺꭽꮅ.
