Subject: Memorial service story request






Allison, your thoughts and poems were very rich. I'm intrigued by how we turn
to poetry sometimes instead of story. I know I use poetry within some of my
stories and story programs.
I'm interested in how we use them differently. It seems to me that story may
require more response in some way, wheras we may be more comfortable simple
hearing a poem and letting it in.
Any comments?

Another thought about your specific request Jena, for pieces to be read at
your friends memorial service. Personal recollections, stories about your
friend, how he lived, what you saw as important in his life, could be very
much a comfort to his family.
