0026 Listening To A Reading By Robert Hass Comments

'In a face lined with the challenge of the inexpressible' - The writer's closest companion; his most intractable adversary - so precisely identified in a brilliant creation. Thank you for that. jim

Your last stanza sounds like a picture of you, to me. Maybe it's the 'poet' thing, or the 'mentor' thing. And your description of the event and decor and its audience is so accurate and perceptive and funny (I've seen them - audiences who 'know' they're being filmed) . You have certainly inspired me to read Robert Hass. Thank you MIchael. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
