Agreed...I will miss his writing; I checked the Contents for it each week. My favorite since John Russell left the NYT

Deeply moved by your poem, with gratitude for the NYer link to Peter Schjeldahl's brave, aware, ruckus, tender essay. Very sorry I missed meeting him. Until you gave me that chance in your poem.

Because I’ve been in your course in Hobart twice and because I almost always read your almost always daily poem,I trusted your recommendation and have read and saved this remarkable birth-to-almost-end-of-life remembering. I read it emotionally, critically, stylistically. I’m awed. Thank you.
