EMERGENCY benefit for Will Alexander (Ad)

Dear Friends in Poetry, in Life
Poet and artist Will Alexander has become seriously ill. He has no
health insurance. In order to help him defray the cost of treatment,
poets will gather and read Will’s work as well as poems for Will. If
you can't attend the reading below, please make a donation to Will
Alexander --he really needs the help of myriad communities right now.
(His mailing address is W. Alexander/ 400 South Lafayette Park Place,
#307/ Los Angeles, CA 90057.) Will is one of our GREAT/most singular
poets and thinkers. I understand that this is a time when many feel
"heavy burdened" but ... Please help if you can. Feel free (and in fact
feel encouraged) to forward this or post on your blogs, lists, groups
of friends who will help.
love and much,
Tonya Foster
