"This past weekend I was contacted by the Miami Book Fair International, where she was going to be presenting a book with other poets. They asked if I wanted to participate by reading her poetry since it was impossible for her to be there. I agreed, because she had called me days before in the middle of the night, agitated, saying I needed to cover for her at the Fair Presentation. I agreed because it is an honor to read her work. But most important I agreed because her voice needs to carry on.

She knows I am going to be reading on Sunday. I have told her. She cannot talk, but she hears me… when I read to her Hölderlin's Hymns, or when I consult with her on the poems I am going to be reading Sunday (4. 00 p.m., Room 6100), or when I tell her that everything will be alright".
