Judith: But did you know that Margaret and Harman
Blennerhassett (they of BH Island and Aaron Burr fame)
moved to Montreal in 1819? And that Margaret BH had
her only book of poems printed there in 1824? (I am
re-publishing the poems after discovery of one of the
surely very few copies of her book still existing,
in this case, one in western Canada. She is a much better
and more substantial poet than even any of us poets knew.)
Before moving to Can. they tried Natchez, Mississippi,
where Harman tried to grow cotton at Port Gibson on
Bayou Pierre. My wife and I made a trip to see that location
this past summer -- great fun! In a few weeks I will be
reading from the said new book of poems in Parkersburg, WV
where the BH Island and now Museum are located -- my home
town. I wish you could attend the reading at WaldenBooks,
mid-October (probably Saturday, Oct. 19). Well, wish me
luck, at least. Perhaps I can help you with more info.
concerning M.B. and H.B. -- Ron Hendricks, Atlanta, GA
