as a man with an insatiable curiosity about verse, attending readings by Robert Bly, and buying a ticket to HBO's "Def Poetry Jam" at the Palace Theatre in Stamford, or giving away his jewelry and performing other acts of kindness. Davison's poem, "My Soul Knows Things," was read twice by his fellow poets--Rona Schankerman, who knew Davison for 20 years and wore a pearl necklace the retired engineer and grandfather of five had given her, and Eleni Begetis Anastos, Curley's owner.
"My soul knows things, my mother never knew," Schankerman read. " like who to trust with secret thoughts and in whose hands to place my heart."
