Ah, now I want more Laforgue! Thanks for turning me on to him. Also, what a gorgeous book cover. I wondered if Edward Gorey did the cover, so I looked it up—he did!

If you ever give up touring, please consider being a roving poet/teacher to bring poetry back to classrooms where our youth truly need it.

Thank you for giving us this little moment of serenity, of pure art and beauty, in the middle of very chaotic times. I am cooking in my kitchen and catching up on your posts.

Hope you can make it

Thank you for your poems and songs!

Your February 2,2022 concert lifted my heart

from a dark place. It was my deceased wife’s two year death anniversary. We were together for 34 years. You made me realize I should remember the blessed times I had with her.

So, thank you for all your life assistance you provide through your books, songs, poetry and art!

Love

Octavio
