The talk is great, Martha.
It really does justice to Millie - it conjures the Millie
that I knew, from acres of correspondence, her poetry and art, and one
meeting - not only because it is so well assembled, but because it is
so well assembled by you. And that means, I imagine, a huge
effort to keep rage in check and to consciously pare down the very long
list of Millie's accomplishments to the size of a series of exemplars
(which nonetheless point to, imply, everything else) within a
reasonably sized talk. And hence it emphasises, and quite properly
so, the distinctness of your written voice - kind, amused,
interested, engaged - but always measured and elegant, even when the
most painful subjects are under consideration.
Does a video exist? If so you should consider posting it.
warmest wishes

My talk about Millie's work and her
thoughts about her work is linked at

where I also have some brief posts about E-poetry 2011 at Buffalo.
The talk itself with links to other works Millie made which she liked
is posted on the Sporkworld Community Blog at

Not linked are Sandy Baldwin's and Stephanie Strickland's lovely
statements about Millie's presence in the E-poetry world.
Enjoy,
Martha
