Birds Of New York' Poem by Sandra Fowler
Birds Of New York'
In memory of Leonard Opalov
To me Latvian poets seemed quite rare,
But I knew one called Leonard Opalov.
He wrote me charming letters from The Bronx
before cancer made him change his address.
I wrote his eulogy for 'Bitterroot',
A magazine that honored Leonard's verse.
The birds of New York sing his poetry.
More than a few love Yiddish, I am told.

This does honor to your friend. What a wonderful tribute, and a bit of a head-spin considering the songsters of New York who love Yiddish. - Will

A fine Tribute indeed and as usual your word flow does this so much justice. A bittersweet poem in that he had cancer but the birds of New York singing his poems resonates to the music singing in my heart. 10 love Karin
