Bill Barnum Recovering

We recently found out that Bill Barnum, longtime staple of Boston's poetry community, had a bout of pneumonia earlier this month.  James Van Looy reported that he is currently recovering at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Network in the North End.  He is in good spirits and eager to receive visitors. 

I'm hoping to see him later this weekend.  There has been increased interest in interviewing Bill Barnum for posterity.  James Van Looy has told me he has old micro-cassette recordings Bill reciting poems then explaining them.  A rare treasure indeed!  I'm going to see what I can do on short notice.
