I have Byron Nilsson, who played Henry in "The Trial Before Christmas," narrating some of Henry's work and this prose piece was on his list to do. I've made videos of "Astronomical Intelligence" and "Journal of Alexander the Great" and am just finishing up "Memoirs of a Pine Tree."<br /><br />http://www.henrylivingston.com/writing/poetry/youtube-videos.htm<br /><br />Mary<br /><br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729703830863530572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570718375010661810.post-36666798554696946592018-12-12T11:24:53.682-06:002018-12-12T11:24:53.682-06:00Edited: Mac was after me to go to New York for tho...Edited: Mac was after me to go to New York for those poems from the beginning of our research. But I'm timid by nature and have a great deal of trouble traveling. When I was chair of Computer Programming Languages, I was forced to travel the country to executive meetings and conferences and it was pure trauma. Took 3 years to force myself to NYC and the museum staff were magnificent. Helped us set up to photograph every page and I transcribed all the poems that night in our hotel room. I make it a point to always be able to give Mac the original source with my transcription so that he can catch my errors. Glad it was of use to you. Makes the memory more worthwhile!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729703830863530572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570718375010661810.post-74758863726408921902018-12-12T09:56:54.621-06:002018-12-12T09:56:54.621-06:00Thanks for the pointers.

What a great collection of history, art, literature and genealogy. Entertaining and educational at the same time, which I know ain't easy. I'm grateful for your many pioneering firsts including the manuscript poems of Moore from the Museum of the City of New York archives.

Up to now, I've only found poems that Henry published that could be traced to other poets.<br />http://www.henrylivingston.com/writing/poetry/index.htm#others<br /><br />I've added a link to this page on the Esquimaux page. Again, just great work.<br /><br />Mary<br /><br />Mary Van Deusen<br />http://www.henrylivingston.comMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729703830863530572noreply@blogger.com
