In Holland, Michigan, arriving on a delayed flight and
whisked from the airport to the reading hosted by Hope College, I found
myself on stage in a renovated movie theater. Every seat appeared to have
been taken. A student jazz group was warming up the crowd. I was overcome
with paranoia; everyone would steal away when the poet rose and approached
the podium. I was wrong. It was a memorable evening.
