Memorials

Ace Weekly’s James Baker Hall Memorial issue downloadable at this link. Or if you want to go direct to the PDF, here.

By the way, in the photo on the Ace site — Wendell Berry, Jim Hall, Ed McClanahan, & Gurney Norman — I just want to add the caption: One of these things is not like the others.

Of course, there are several ways you can group them. Two poets laureate in the group.

Thanks to Ann Lederer from drawing my attention to this issue.

I should also announce the James Baker Hall Memorial that will take place in Gratz Park here in Lexington on July 11 from 4:00 – 6:00. (If the weather is forbidding, the ceremony will move inside the Carnegie Center.) Afterwards, there will be a reception in the Carnegie Center, with food and drink and poetry. Please celebrate Jim, if you wish, by bringing along a poem to read. And please forward this message to any friends. Check the Kentucky Literary Newsletter for updates.
