In reply to Chris Abouzeid.

And, Chris, thank you for taking the time to share your story about Cornelius.

Come back on February 1–Cornelius will be writing about a day in his life.

Such a nice surprise to see Cornelius Eady’s name flash across my TweetDeck screen this morning. Even nicer to see his poetry getting more recognition. I met Cornelius way back in 1980, at the Bread Loaf Writers Conference. He was one of the nicest and most interesting people at the conference, and his poetry captivated readers even then. Thanks for letting me know he’s still going strong!

In reply to Barb. Hi Barb! I have read Querencia, but there is something about this one I particularly connect with... Hope all three of you are well : )

Wow. I too first discovered Cornelius Eady through Pam. And Stephen Dobyn’s (Have you ever read Querencia?). I love it when you hear poetry read to you by someone who really cares about the work. It helps me appreciate it in a way I might not have when I read it on the page. Thanks for reminding me of this.
