I agree: Aninha is the good vibe glue that makes us happily stick together – and I am a new comer mind you, I can sense that!

Ron: you must come back to Wilmington pronto – if not sooner!

Jean: as for the event ties with UNCW there are many possibilities. We can talk about that some time.

Joe and Regina have some very valid comments. Ron was deeply touched by what we have here. I believe Ana is a key aspect of it as well. I mean we’re writing on her blog, aren’t we? Also, David Capps and myself have been to places to read where we’re not appreciated. Ana always makes her readings at the Browncoat a place where writers can feel appreciated. Don’t forget about ...

Ron was generous, kind and a delight to be around. A spirit further uplifted by his cheek bones, he does bring a gentle smile all the time! And he is witty too! I appreciated particularly his touching on the “hick sensibility”, important in a society which does not want to look back or deeper. I learned a lot with him and the whole group in one evening. Thanks to the organizers! Let’s ... See all content

I have only known Ron a short time and have found him to be an exremely generous person. I find his take on life and it’s happenings, priceless.

In light of the impression he made on us as a group of writers and poets, lets remember that he said, we have something special here. I believe he was right when he said that we wern’t even fully cognizant of what we have. He went as far

Ron Bayes is not only a great poet, but extremely intersting to talk to. I highly, highly recommend attending one of his readings any time he comes to Wilmington. I know I will be.

What can I say? The legend continues. He is the “great,” and I mean great Ron Bayes. How is greatness measured? By who the person inspires, and Ron Bayes has inspired hundreds, if not thousands of writers. That is the measure of greatness. The legend of Ron Bayes, the great poet, continues. Nice piece, Ana, and thanks for mentioning me in it. I feel honored to have helped bring this man ... See all content
