Notes:
Note from donor Jim Cohn-
I created this poster when I worked as a Disability Specialist at CU Boulder's Office of Disability Services (1997-2009). As a Disability Specialist with deep interest in Disability Studies, I was an informal point person within the office to bring Flying Words Project poets Peter Cook and Kenny Lerner to Boulder for a packed house performance of hearing and Deaf Coloradans during a blizzard on the evening of Friday, 8 March 2002 on the University of Colorado--Boulder campus. I never had quite so much fun in my life, before or since, as when I would hang out with Peter Cook and Kenny Lerner, two of the greatest friends I made while living in Rochester and two of the best loved poets I've ever known. The poster features a promotional image of Lerner (left) and Cook (right). Over the image of Kenny Lerner's face, he inscribed, "Jim, / you put these two / faces together long / before this picture / was taken. The / images you see / are from [eye (I/me)] Love, Kenny." Over Peter Cook's image, on his forehead, Cook wrote, "To Jim, I want to do / to you what the spring / does to a cherry / tree/ Neruda / Peter."
