Obie,
It's we the readers who should say thank you. As I mentioned to you before, the night we got our copies of CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, POEMS TO SIT ON TO SHELL PEAS, and ON THE HINGES OF THIS TOWN, our family came together to experience your new work. Three hours later, our three younger children ( ages 16, 14 and 12 at the time) and Dennie and I had been taken through a kaleidoscope of emotions, wit, laughter, joy, reverie, sadness, nostalgia etc. as we read aloud your wonderful poems. It is unusual for us to all equally enjoy the same artist's work, nevertheless there we were, and there we are.
God bless you, Obie... and keep you strong and productive in your work.
Peace and Love,
Stan, Dennie, Brooke, Chike and Nejmi.
