Neeli was exciting to be with, always generative, always made stuff happen. He was always encouraging. He introduced us to so many people and drew many into the Lithic fold. He always invited me to travel (I took a trip to Neeli, Italy was in the background). To be in his midst was to be drawn into a hurricane of activity and into his poem. Neeli considered himself a world poet. He bled for the downtrodden, for those caught in repressive societies—and he responded to their plight through poetry.
