—- and Glad to receive Martha’s wonderful words….
Thank you for your collective wit, talents and enthusiasm, which you so generously brought to the Beaches Library, on January 23rd. Your splendid performances of Burns’ verse and of your own, have reinvigorated my faith in the importance of bringing poetry alive in public places, at every opportunity. I wish we’d been able to offer you a larger audience, but the night was so cold, and the room felt full because of your words and warmth!!
