Steve meets Donald Hall at St. Paul's School. I am at Audubon where the kids are taking a 6 week forest habitats class. 
I wish I'd gone with Steve!Steve told Mr. Hall about me as he asked him to sign a book. St. Paul's photographer happened to catch all this and emailed the photos to Steve. I'm hoping the book will appear under the Christmas tree.
Steve also mentioned that we'd attended a reading the last time we lived in NH. Mr. Hall asked, "Did I read the same poems?"Steve reports that he did read some old favorites today, but also some new poems. I hope to hear Hall, Maxine Kumin, who I recently met at her reading in Warner, and Charles Simic, the current U.S. poet laureate, in Concord on Jan. 22. Hall and Kumin are past poet laureates. Kumin joked in the newspaper not long ago that there is something in the water here . . . I am drinking lots of water.Have I mentioned that Concord, NH, is the best place on earth?
