The host poet's wife read one of her rare poems and Kizer, surprised and moved, responded to him: Are you LISTENING to this woman?!"<br /><br />Clearly, Francis is listening to you, Jill, and we all just received the benefit of that listening. Thank you both.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945352610103167449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-46605655504755377252012-04-21T18:39:09.450-04:002012-04-21T18:39:09.450-04:00Jill, I hope you will share more of your work in t...Jill, I hope you will share more of your work in the future.<br /><br />Lovely,<br />KayKay Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204653574216344790noreply@blogger.com
