Great Regulars: In spite of his capacious intellect,

James [Wright] and his wife Annie were like the two ponies in his poem, shy and awkward, preferring to roam the sun-filled fields in nearby Kennett Square, Pa., with me and my husband and two other friends.

My son, then 7 years old, sat on a stump while James sang him the Swedish Chef's song from Sesame Street.
