Just saw him recently at his 70th birthay party. Tom Barden (you stayed at his place) is quite well and active as is Joel Lipman who is (woo-hoo) Lucas County Poet Laureate. <br /><br />I was renting a bedroom in Barden's house on one of your visits. I bought a copy of Rocky Dies Yellow. You gave me a copy of In The Mood and the Salt Lick Sampler piece, all of which I still have and thank you for.<br /><br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296182103548628305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-47732249886518188922013-01-06T10:30:45.458-05:002013-01-06T10:30:45.458-05:00And same to you and yours Bob.

(One time you read with Etheridge Knight.) And more than anything, I remember your graciousness.<br /><br />Have always enjoyed your poems and also this blog. Ain't the internet great?<br /><br />Anyway, Happy New Year to you and your family.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Bob PhillipsBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296182103548628305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-73396261023215786692013-01-05T22:30:38.551-05:002013-01-05T22:30:38.551-05:00Yeah, she was passionate about a lot.Yeah, she was passionate about a lot.Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-69761561567870445812013-01-05T21:23:36.510-05:002013-01-05T21:23:36.510-05:00Saw u over on Kevin's page... never heard of M...Saw u over on Kevin's page... never heard of Ms. Cortez... wow, she did not look nor sound her age.. voice was full of passion for sure.Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.com
