Dear Liz,
how are you? It has been a long time since we last met
in Border's book shop, in Oxford, for that lovely Open
Mike, rememeber.
How about coming to Oxford for the new Dialogue Among
Civilizations? I have already organized it, and it
will be held on the 22nd March 2002, at the Maison
Francaise, like last year. Please, bring as many
friends as you like: admission is free and there will
be also a beautiful concert by a young
Italian-Japanese Oxford student, Akira Moretto. Wine
will be offered at the end of the poetry reading.
More informations are to be found on this page of the
on-line poetry magazine I edit:
http://www.transference.f2s.com/Dialogue2002.htm
and on http://www.dialoguepoetry.org
Ram Deniveni (who I met in New York last August to
discuss the new Oxford edition of Dialogue) has
recently sent the list all the information about this
big poetry event we are organizing world wide.
I apologize, Liz, if you will see a different name on
my e-mail. It is always me, though, the person signing
this letter. The presence of this other name is caused
by logistic problems.
I hope you are recovering, I do wish you all the best
and I hope to see you again in Oxford next spring.
warmest regards, Liz,
Erminia Passannanti
