Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on November 16, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Craig Arnold! May your day be filled with more joy than finding the perfect metaphor hidden inside a seashell. Your poetic brilliance in "Shells" still resonates, reminding us all that life's greatest treasures often lie beneath the surface—though we're still checking every shell at the beach just in case.

And let's not forget your remarkable follow-up, "Made Flesh," which proved once again that you have an uncanny ability to breathe life into words. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much delight and inspiration as you've given readers everywhere. Cheers to another year of poetic adventures!
