I know many of you have worried about the health of our Poet Lariat, Richard Wilbur, so I wanted to be sure to let you know that Deborah Warren and I sat together last night at Phillips Academy in Andover and listened to a superb reader by The Great One. He was fighting a cold, but otherwise looked good and read for 50 minutes, answered questions for 20, and signed books for at least 30 minutes.
He didn't speak directly to Charlee's health, which I know was extremely poor over the winter, but he made a reference to her being back rereading long novels, which I took as a positive note.
