@StevenIsserlis A poet first and a musician second. Poetry and music always dance within me as I write poetry and compose music.

@StevenIsserlis Well said. So exquisite, his music. I will play Sonata No. 13 in Bb Major, K.333, my favorite, in his honor.

@StevenIsserlis I teach my intermediate piano students to listen, to love the silences. Can’t wait to mention this Brendel quote. Thank you!

@MayaCPopa “The truth is we come back as a choir.” This poem sings its potent truths.,

[JA Rader @NewPortia]

@StevenIsserlis These are marvelous quotes! Jack Benny has astounding wit and our family loved his humor. And he was an accomplished violinist.

[JA Rader @NewPortia]

@StevenIsserlis I love Trollope! Agree with your commentary and the quotation. Luxury and civility in the joys of a sofa, book and cup of coffee- wise words!

[JA Rader @NewPortia]

@Joseph_Fasano_ The craft in this poem, the work, makes it sublime. The imagery of the first two lines! And the truth of the final line! Thank you.

@Joseph_Fasano_ Great news, love your poems!
