Episode 35: Julianne Buchsbaum
Julie, it's so nice to hear your voice, your personality, and your thoughts again! A lot of the rather distinctive, quirky ideas and feelings you expressed in the poems resonated deeply with me, especially those in your poems about summer and the office. These took me aback with the shock of recognition, conjuring very vivid, unpleasant recollections of all-too-similar experience-feelings!
ReplyDeleteIt's a thrill and a delight to see that some of the talents I remember you so well for, from so far back, have been reaching such felicitous fruition--both in terms of public acclaim and of actual merit (in my opinion). Congratulations, and godspeed!
