“The quality of my life has changed for the better because of The Slowdown. There are so many levels to this, not the least of which is my writing. Passionate, musical, skillful verbal acts are now a daily presence in my life. I think you understand how much this means to me. Each introduction sets its poem up for admiration for always. And it’s lovely and helpful, in so many ways, to get to know Ms. Smith. One final thing: it was fun to hear Ms. Smith mention walking down DeKalb Avenue. I live off of DeKalb, across the street from the park. Baby sparrows are rising up as twittery groups right now and the black-eyed susans in many stages are still going strong. Bright brown dried leaves have been gathering on the horse chestnuts. it’s cool with almost September.”
