The production of the following episodes will wrap early 2017: On Emily Dickinson’s “I cannot dance opon my Toes”: Cynthia Nixon, Yo Yo Ma, Marie Howe and Bill T. Jones; On Marianne Moore’s “The Fish”: Jorie Graham, Edward Norton, Conservation International scientists, and the passengers and crew of oceanographic vessel The Alucia; On Elizabeth Bishop’s “One Art” or Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Four Sonnets.” Jeffrey, Just a quick note to thank you again for all the help you've given me. The generous contribution you made last year to Verse Video Education is now in use (we've hired our new editor!). Once he helps us to plow through the work of this year, we'll begin to look forward to crafting educational content on the literature of art, sport and play (these materials now including footage from recent shoots with Shaquille O'Neal, Yo Yo Ma, Cynthia Nixon, Bono and others). 100K makes so much possible. But, of course, you've also been a key preceptor as I've learned how --squirming ail the way--the sausage really gets made in public television. | can't say I've been entirely successful in taming costs there, but I've been far better armed and more mindful of what they should be after the stern tutorial you administered. Whenever Templeton might be ready to evaluate another application, I'm ready for another proposal for them. | wonder if you might arrange a meeting for me with the famous Barnaby? | can't yet afford a grant writer, and so the time one of these suckers takes makes me think doing more advance reconnaissance is crucial. Would he meet with me? Kosher? I'd also love to meet with the Blacks as | get closer to making content on theatre. | hope that Debra is well. And heard there's another little Jeff in the caribbean...
