Working on table of contents. Whew. It's been difficult. Not sure how to remove page numbers from section titles. Every time I remove a single pg. # they all disappear. Ugh, so I'm going to send recent edits in with page numbers throughout manuscript. I added four new poems to it and feel pretty good. Here's the present breakdown of poem titles and those pesky section titles. It will most certainly piss an old ex-friend off too! Ha!
