There was no better way to cap off the weekend than to hear Mary Kellogg read from her next book poems, which she is close to completing. “You are going to miss this place,” my friend George Forss kept telling me this weekend. I guess so. So many people told me how beautiful and wonderful a place it is. It is, it is. I’ve got to pause and have something to eat. My voice is shot. How lucky I was to have a day like this in my life. People gathered around the Pig Barn to hear three of wonderful Mary’s new poems. How gifted she is, what a perfect symbol of the spirit of encouragement that is the real heart of Bedlam Farm and will be the spirit of the New Bedlam Farm. To the people who came to share this today, thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you back.
