I wonder if you could keep me in the loop about the dedication. I can get the word out to the larger small press community (oxymoronish there) and, who knows, I'd love to be there myself if I can find the money and the time.<br /><br />It may have taken a long time but Austin has done something virtually unprecedented and you all are to be commended for that.<br /><br />Huff means so very much to so many people who never actually met him, the ultimate testimony to his work.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Don Wentworth<br />Email lilliputreview AT gmail DOT com (substituting @ for AT and . for DOT)Issa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-42964950695059035822013-03-15T09:17:00.485-04:002013-03-15T09:17:00.485-04:00Bart, as you know, small press poets come and go l...Bart, as you know, small press poets come and go like each year's blossoms, but Huff keeps coming back every year.<br /><br />Amazing.Issa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-81724668980760594592013-03-15T08:05:13.299-04:002013-03-15T08:05:13.299-04:00We in Hyde Park are also excited about the creatio...We in Hyde Park are also excited about the creation of Huffstickler Green, or as I have come to think of it, Huff's Corner. Elzy and the APS were very gracious in supporting this proposal,seven years in the making. They say success has many fathers, and when it comes to the City of Austin, such fathers grow long in the tooth waiting for things to happen. As we prepare to dedicate this little space to Huff's memory, we hope to involve the poetry community in doing it right, and have decided to postpone the event until the new trees and plantings are green and leafy. I want to point out that the google screen grabs in this post are of the corner across the street. I don't know what streetview will show yet, but the site today (the northeast corner of 38th and Duval) is graced with landscaping designed by our neighbor Michael Biechlin, featuring a low limestone sitting wall that, under the new oak trees, will one day be a wonderful place to sit and ponder our world, on the same Number 7 bus route that passed Huff's favorite tables at 43rd Street.

Having had the privilege to live a few blocks away for many years and to see Huff in the flesh as he shuffled around, printing copies of his typed poems in Fresh Plus, flirting with young women who adored him outside the bakery,etc., etc., this warms my heart. As we/they say in Hyde Park, Huff lives!Constance Campbellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-1487456115257803642013-03-01T12:55:55.581-05:002013-03-01T12:55:55.581-05:00something "sacred" comes through via wha...something "sacred" comes through via what he writes.<br />Quiets my "me"....<br />and<br /><br />that second café poem <br /><br />The woman<br />in the corner<br /><br /><br />has awhile ago "grabbed" an image that I drew...<br /><br />like, and frequently he and I "see" through same "eyes" ...<br /><br />nice to re:visit these gems of his.... and his 'voice'<br />IS a Breath of Fresh Air !<br />Ed Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285310130024785775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-38237500985183700322013-03-01T12:01:39.435-05:002013-03-01T12:01:39.435-05:00Really good news on the Austin front.

Although poets aren't necessarily weird, we usually get lumped in to that category. :)Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
