I recently saw a flyer advertizing next summer's poetry conference at West Chester, and I was happy to see that A. E. Stallings has been added to the faculty there, a distinction that is long overdue.
If Alicia is even one-tenth as good in a classroom as she is in this Sphere, her students are in for a wonderful learning experience.
In addition, I note that with Rhina Espaillat and Alicia, the West Chester faculty includes two of my favorite poets writing today. So congratulations to both Rhina and Alicia and to Mike Peich and the other organizers of the West Chester conference, for choosing and being able to attract such accomplished instructors.
