TRIBUTE TO LOCAL POET ESTHER BUFFLER
For months I have meant to write and say thank you so much for your incredible words about Esther Buffler [former Portsmouth poet laureate]. Your words touched me so very much, bringing up both loss and joy for me. You really captured the spirit of Ess, and her effect on all of us here in Portsmouth. That first paragraph, wow, that first sentence "If all the buildings in Portsmouth fell down, this town would still remind me of Esther." You are very good. I will keep your tribute with all my Esther books, letters, things, and in my heart.

I just finished reading your column on Esther Buffler. It was beautiful! Nearly moved me to tears. Wow, I'm so glad you're out there writing about Portsmouth, about anything.

Dennis, I just read your article on Esther. It was in itself a poem. Also very moving. (From a former social Studies teacher PHS, now retired up here in Rochester --- liked your pick of the Rochester site also :)

That was a very lovely piece you wrote on Esther. As beautifully composed as a perfect little short story
