poetry dispatch & other notes from the underground 
Norb is dearly missed, no matter how many years have passed.
Thank you for reposting this video. It was a lovely reminder to look within, always, find center, and show up to the page.
Dear Norb–what a pleasure to see this video. Thanks so much. I miss him every day.
Thank you for posting this…it is a beautiful piece. A tribute. Always delighted at the creative abundance within his Co-Op, <— the autocorrect isn’t allowing me to type C-o-o-p! Miss his physical presence, but he inspires, cajoles and urges me on every time I sit down to write. And I am sure I’m not the only one of his students to experience that…
I just treasure this video! I love hearing his wonderful voice and seeing him and all the contents of his beloved coop again! ❤️
I loved this video! Miss him and wonder what he would be writing in these troubled times. Carol Doty

As much as I love watching this Christo’ — very, very difficult. I was there watching John Nelson & his sidekick Bill film it, alternately playing gopher and admiring. What a miracle the man was. Miss him every day. ~Jude
