On September 8, 2008 I presented the Tenth Muse, “passionate dance of poetry and music”, at the iconic Shakespeare and Company, Paris. An overflow crowd spilled out into the corridors of the prestigious writers' personal collection library. After the presentation and discussion/reaction session, members of all ages, students to seniors from virtually all over the globe expressed their support for the Tenth Muse project. "Amazing." "Phenomenal." "I loved it!" "I loved being here." Were some of the heartwarming comments. The Shakespeare & Company historian and host remarked: "This was a unique moment in the long and illustrious history of the iconic bookstore. Editor/ publisher/ author David Applefield, whose critique motivated the invitation chided: " You done good." ( So much for literary pretense.) Best of all three College ladies, from US and Brazil, gave me a hug of appreciation. My wife, Sheila, looked on with approval. She saved her hug for the post performance dinner.
