Default Some small news




Hey, folks,

I'm thrilled to be able to talk about this. I won an international Poetry for Peace Prize from the Lindberg Peace Foundation in Jerusalem! They invited me to go to Israel to read, but sadly we can't swing the airfare right now. Press release is here.

Video of the poem (which was played at the event since I couldn't be there) is here.

All hail Kate!

Thanks,

Bill

That's exciting news, Bill, congratulations!

I tried the video, by the way, but got "video not listed". Maybe that's just my slow connection?

Peace. Now that's something worth fighting for!

Having it large! As some people here say.

Thanks, everybody. It's a crazy time!

And best of all, Kate tells me I don't actually look like that! Thank goodness!

Thanks,

Bill
