DPF / Eberhart
I met Richard Eberhart in a poetry workshop which he led for a day at UF, in 1987 or 1988. He very kindly passed Emily Dickinson’s handshake to me: from her hand to an intervening hand to his hand to mine. This one’s from The Voice That is Great Within Us, an anthology from 1970, edited by Hayden Carruth.
