Yes, he's very impressive in person. I've seen him at readings, sitting in the back of the room, but always one of the first to ask a question or engage the author in a short debate. Definitely not a low-profile character.

there's this poem, and I can't remember the name.
but the first letter in each line spells something.
and you don't realize it until you get to the way he names a particular bird, and the name of the bird is the way you read the first letter of each line.
tee hee.
