[...] a puppet, on the sidewalk, as a memorial to a friend who died, and as a celebration for a new local literary publication. How about the night all the poets got free T-shirts, the time we wore green and spoke in Irish [...]

Chris, I hope you can make the September 13th reading at the Black Water Loft (3-5) where Elliot’s poetry will be featured. Maybe some of the paintings the Floyd Figures did of him could be brought and set up there.

So sorry I missed this Spoken Word. I heard there was nary a dry eye. I’m wearing an Elliot fleece as I type this. He only read at Spoken Word once? I remember it! outspoken, blunt, it seemed intended to make one squirm, very self-revealing, I thought it courageous, unsparing but not unkind. Thanks to all who’ve preserved his work! I hope an Elliot themed night gets recreated; many of us have many drawings of Elliot, a combined event?

This sounds absolutely idyllic. One of these days I’m gonna have to venture out to your neck of the woods. If I haven’t done so already, I’ll have to add it to the list of places to visit before I die (there is no actual “list,” but rather a series of mental notes…. you know).
Tanya sent me,

What a great name, Coriander is! I love it. Wish I could be a part of your Floyd community. Eliot must have been loved and to show your appreciation of him in such a way is all anyone can ask for when they’re gone. I hope someone does that for me someday.
