Dear Asili, Thanks for sending the tonal drawing in just this form, because I’ll try using the “wordpress” link with my lecture next month for the poetry institute at the University of Kansas. I had clean forgot you were saving my remarks on the site. This has been an extraordinary weekend —–Friday and Saturday devoted to celebrating my friend Bettye Parker Smith’s retiring as Provost at Tougaloo College, my finishing an invested reading of Jabari Asim’s novel Only the Strong (it required listening to Jerry Butler’s “Only the Strong Survive”), digging President Obama’s blacktrocuting the nation with amazing grace as he preached the eulogy in Charleston. Yes, my brother, we are on time in time as time does what time does best. Peace, Jerry Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 04:45:54 +0000 To: jerry.ward31@hotmail.com
