The good people at the Brattleboro Words Project, chiefly Lissa Weinmann, write to tell us that their podcast this month features a sound documentary about Andy Kopkind. It was made by our dear friend, comrade, collaborator and Kopkind honorary board member Maria Margaronis. Maria was Andy’s first intern at The Nation. She is a beautiful writer, a sensitive radio documentarian (mostly for BBC Radio), a deep soul. Her episode for the Brattleboro Words Trail Podcast is a love letter, a memento, an evocation of Andy and John and the world they created at Tree Frog Farm in Guilford, Vermont, which inspires everything we’ve been doing at Kopkind for 25 years now. We are grateful to Lissa, Maria and everyone who was involved in producing this beautiful piece, which we send out with love.
The picture here was taken during one of Andy’s famous birthday celebrations. This year we will be hold a celebration of Kopkind’s 25 birthday on Andy’s birthday, August 24, at Tree Frog Farm. More details to come, but Save The Date: 8/24/24!
