Hello Carmine:
Thanks for sending me the press release of Larry Hussman’s book of poems. I live in Portugal and am a former student and a friend of Larry’s. I see that you write about Italian literature and wonder whether you met Antonio Tabucchi, who had relatives in Portugal and visited my country often. He was a sweet man.
I look forward to reading Larry’s latest book of poems, which I will order soon.
