This photograph and all the others here were taken by Fred Viebahn, a German writer attending the IWP and subsequently getting translated and married by Rita Dove. They now are parents of a lively daughter, Aviva. These photographs were sent to me by Burt Blume, IWP's Program Assistant then and a close friend of many of us over the years. Burt lives in Tokyo, Japan, now with his charming wife and irrepressible daughters. He was one of the best young American poets I came across then and wonder why he writes poetry so rarely now. They were all very close to Ashay and each had very distinct friendship(s) with Ashay, Viju, and me.
