Peshka Calloway is available to read the poem on January 14th.

I suggested that she arrive about 10:30-10:45.

I will send her directions and mention that we are meeting in the basement.





*"...indifference to evil is worse than evil itself,*
*that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible. "*

                               Abraham Joshua Heschel
