This is a beautiful book, Nemo - the art is absolutely stunning, and the poetry even more so. My hat's off to you: you've outdone yourself.

Best,

Ed

[Allen Tice]

Looks good, Nemo.

[R. Nemo Hill]

Thanks, Rick, and Ed, and Allen.
The launch has been set for June 2nd, at Suite (992 Amsterdam at 109th street), from 3-5 PM.
But it is still in the planning stages, so I will come back with more detailed info closer to the event.
But hold the date!

The launch. How truly apt! Ha!

I'll be there in some form of weather since the body can't be.

This deserves to be a great occasion, Nemo!

[Edmund Conti]

Just received my signed copy. Thanks, Nemo.

This is one stunning knock-out of a book. I'll be reading little bits at a time as I get carried out to sea.

[Siham Karami]

It is a treasure, Nemo. I would have learned diving to get this, but it came the easy way, by mail. Indeed it is gorgeous with those amazing photos, and all the history and luscious language. It should be launched at sea, a nautical event. Transformed the ghazal too.

Thanks, Cally. Since you are already the salt in the saltwater of the book, you will be at the launch in one form or another.

Thanks, Edmund. Take your time, it's a long voyage.

Siham, I have been meaning to write you privately to tell you how much I enjoyed your new book. Actually enjoyed is not a rich enough word. I devoured it and have been carrying it around deep inside me. It just may surface on the waves of the launch.

Speaking of the launch, please join me there, anyone who can. It's been set for Sunday, June 2nd, from 3-5 PM, at Suite, 992 Amsterdam Avenue (at the corner of 109th Street), New York City.
It's a great, relaxed venue, drinks are cheap, and the books will be for sale. This is is an important publication for me, and I am coming to Manhattan from the Catskills to present it in style.
So save the date!

I will be there and then I will be off to Lebanon for the summer. I hope to bring the book with me.

[Ann Drysdale]

Wishing you well, as always. And hoping there may be a video or two.

[Mary Meriam]

A seriously gorgeous book in every way, an epic journey, far out to sea. The afterword is wonderful too.
