Last night’s debut of Why There Are Words exceeded expectations — it was standing room only! Watch this space for photos. Meanwhile, here are a few email comments from those in attendance:
- Now I know why there are words.
- I have never, in all my years now of writing and reading, seen so many people show up to a reading exempting when the biggest guns, like Billy Collins and Robert Hass, give readings. And what a respectful, attentive crowd. Honestly, it was just about ideal from all I could see.
- Professional.
- The roster was so consistently skillful, from the introductions to the readings.
- Fantastic evening.
There’s also the fan page on Facebook.
