We're looking forward to it!
I like that picture. Seems relevant to where I work (NASA).
And it was a very fine reading and I'm so glad we finally got to meet! Thanks for coming and the very kind words. (And I love the picture, too.)
SO, so glad you could be here! Your reading was fabulous -- one of those that makes me want to write again, reminds me why I love poems -- and it was that fantastic mix of the absolutely best kind of thoughtful and the best kind of skepticism about it all.
I can't wait to read the next book, too -- the one you read was gorgeous.
YAY for having you here!!!! Come back all the time. :)
it was pleasure meeting you.
Thanks so much for reading at IUSB, Greg. It was good to meet you and the reading was fantastic.
Excellent reading last night.
Thank you so much for coming down and giving the people of South Bend something to look forward to.
Thank you very much for reading your poems last night... I enjoy reading your book this morning!
Loved your reading, your poems, I really have no words to describe with the feelings I left with.
I am also one of those students who wrote poetry in high school, 25 years later, I am back at it again.
But hey, anyone who loves Chet Baker, loves art, and nature, is okay in my book!
Great job!
Dude, looks like you rocked the place. Way.
