Thank you. So happy to know a poet I revere was a gracious human being.

Hi Donna,

Yes, he was! I can still hear his voice, his rhythms in my ear.

I have a good friend who interviewed him at a radio station many years ago. As they were leaving, he insisted on helping her on with her coat, not in a creepy way, but because he was an old world gentleman.

So lovely to know. The beautiful documentary about his restorative work in Hawaii was such a joy to see.
