Irving Layton lived in his old age on Monkland Avenue, just a few blocks from where we live. I knew Layton's nephew/best friend, Bill Goodwin, who taught at Champlain College when I first began teaching there. Bill would have Irving read at the college every year. I remember, after one reading, driving home with Irving and Bill and talking with Irving. Noni Howard is a poet and an old friend Irving Layton's, she is also an old friend of CZ's, so when she came to visit in 1997 (or 1998) we all went down to Irving's and visited. These photos are from that occasion.
Coracle Press will publish a chapbook of Noni Howard's poems this summer: visit Coracle Press. |
